6. equation =  for C, you get the formula for circumference.d
The distance around a circle is called circumference. For every circle, the ratio of circumference C to diameter d is the same. This ratio, , is
represented by the Greek letter , called pi. Pi is approximately equal to 3.14 or By solving the 22 7
equation =  for C, you get the formula for circumference.
