The term circumference refers to the outside edge of a circle.<\/p>\n

You can calculate the length of the circumference by multiplying the diameter (the length from one side to the other directly through the centre point of the circle) by the special maths number \u03c0 (Pi – which is about 3.14).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the diameter of a circle was 4cm, then the circumference is 3.14 x 4 which is\u00a0 12.56cm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The term “Circumference” would typically be introduced at Second Level but the need to be able to calculate the circumference using pi (\u03c0) would normally be taught at Third\/Fourth level, beyond Primary School.<\/span><\/p>\n
