Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The formula can be used to find the circumference when you know the diameter.
- The formula can be used to find the circumference when you know the radius.
- The formula can be used to find the radius or diameter when you know the circumference.
- These answers will be rounded to an appropriate degree of accuracy.
- For the answer to be exact it needs to be left in terms of π.
Common misconception
When writing answers in terms of π, pupils may think that π is the units.
π is a constant and makes up part of the numerical component of the answer. Units (such as square metres) still need to be stated.
