My, what a lovely cake! If only I knew the diameter and circumference of all the cakes I could make it at home!
But what does 2πr even mean?! And how is the diameter 2 times the radius?
How about we do an example?
Diameter
The line down the middle is the diameter. Think of it like half of the cake. It's important to know that the diameter is 2 times the radius. To find the circumference or all the way around the circle use the formula 2πr.
Radius
Skluzavka: 2
Circumference Examples
Let's say the radius is 6. The diameter is two times that. 6 x 2 = 12. Easy peasy! The diameter is 12!Now this part can get a little tricky. 2πr stands for 2 times the radius times pi. In some examples they use 3.14 for an estimation for pi. Ex.1: Whats approximately the diameter and circumference of the circle? First find the diameter multiply 6 times 2. 6 x 2 = 12 inches. Now for the circumference. Since we now have the diameter we just have to multiply it by π, or 3.14 in this case.12 x 3.14 = 37.68 inches. (Feel free to use a calculator!)The circumference is 37.68 inches.The same goes for the other 2 cake pans. The very small one has a radius of 3" and a diameter of 6". The circumference is about 18.84 inches. The medium cake pan have a radius of 5" and a diameter of 10". The circumference is about 31.4 inches.

Who knew finding the circumference and diameter was so easy! I better get looking for cake pans!
I'm glad I could help! Invite me over when you finish the cake!
Circumference: Distance around the circle. (Perimeter)Diameter: Half of the circle.Radius: Half of the diameter.

Well your in luck! I remember how to find both of those. Let's break it down step by step.
