Step 1The Equation

The Equation
To find the circumference we can either use the diameter or the radius of the circle, (see picture) the radius being half the length of the diameter.
Using equation
C=d X �

Or substituting the diameter for the radius
C= 2� X r or C= � X 2r

This is my formula C= pi x d or C=2 x pi x r you don't really need all those fancy letters that no one can understand.

Looks fine, except for the spelling mistake in the title. (Circle). Other than that, explains the basics and more difficult concepts well.
