A buttonhole will need to be as wide as the widest part of the button, if the button is to be able to pass through it. A button is a circle shape; the widest part of a circle is its diameter.

The formula to find the circumference of a circle is Pi multiplied by the diameter of a circle.

We already know the circumference of the button, and we know the value of Pi, so we can rearrange the above formula:

3.14 x diameter = 7.38 ---> 7.38 / 3.14 = diameter

So, the diameter of the button is 2.35 cm. The buttonhole will therefore need to be this size. Actually, probably a tiny bit bigger unless you want it to be extremely tight!

How do you measure cubic yds concrete in a circumference area?

To measure the concrete needed for a circular pad:-- Decide how thick (deep) the pad is to be. If it's in inches, divide by 12 for thickness in feet.-- Measure either the circumference or the diameter of the circle, in feet.-- If you measured the circumference, then the cubic yds of concrete needed is(0.00295) x (circumference) x (circumference, again) x (thickness) ... all in feet-- If you measured the diameter, then the cubic yds of concrete needed is(0.0291) x (diameter) x (diameter, again) x (thickness) ... all in feet
