What is a circumference of a circle?
How do you find the perimeter of a semi-circle?
The Circumference (or) perimeter of circle = 2πR. where, R is the radius of the circle. π is the mathematical constant with an approximate (up to two decimal points) value of 3.14. Again, Pi (π) is a special mathematical constant; it is the ratio of circumference to diameter of any circle.

Circumference (Perimeter) of a circle. The distance around the edge of a circle. Also 'periphery' , 'perimeter'. Try this Drag the orange dots to move and resize the circle. The circumference is shown in blue. Note the radius changes and the circumference is calculated for that radius. Options.
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape. To work out the perimeter, add up the lengths of all the sides.
The circumference of a circle is the measurement of how far the distance goes around the circle. We can think of it as the “perimeter” of the circle because it is literally the measure of the length of the circle’s boundary.
Perimeter is used for polygons, or closed objects with straight rather than curved edges. Generally, perimeter could be used to describe the distance around a circle. On the other hand, circumference cannot be used to describe the distance around a polygon.
Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape. Example: the perimeter of this rectangle is 7+3+7+3 = 20. Example: the perimeter of this regular pentagon is: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 5×3 = 15. The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference: Circumference = 2 π × radius.
The circumference is the length of the boundary of a circle. It is also known as the “perimeter” of a circle. Since it represents length, it is measured in units of lengths such as feet, inches, centimeters, meters, miles, or kilometers.
