Formula
How it works: Multiply the radius by 2 and then by pi (approximately 3.14159). The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge. Doubling the radius gives the diameter, and multiplying by pi converts it to the full distance around.
Worked Example
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the radius half of the diameter?
Yes. The radius is exactly half the diameter. If you know the diameter, divide by 2 to get the radius. Conversely, double the radius to get the diameter.
Can I reverse this calculation to find radius from circumference?
Yes. Divide the circumference by 2 pi (approximately 6.28318) to get the radius. The formula is r = C / (2 pi).
What real-world applications use radius to circumference?
Calculating how much fencing is needed around a circular garden, finding the distance a wheel covers per rotation, sizing belts for pulleys, and determining the perimeter of circular pools or tanks.
Does the unit of radius matter?
The circumference will be in the same unit as the radius you enter. If you enter radius in centimeters, the circumference is in centimeters. If in inches, the result is in inches.
