From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perimeter (circumference) of a circle

[edit]

The perimeter (P) of a circle is the difference between the circle and a smaller, concentric circle divided by the difference of the radius of those circles (x).


Note:

 Unwrapping that ring would result in a trapezoid shape, but with just a theoretic height, close to zero. Therefor, it can be regarded as a rectangle.

As x is almost zero, P=6.4r
