What Is The Formula For Circumferance For An 8" Diameter?

I need to be able to figure out the circumferance of a pipe.

Answer Question

    If the diameter = d = 8".

    Radius = half of diameter, or 4".

    Circumference = 2 * pi * r.

    pi = 3.14159265.

    So circumference =

    0.5 * d * pi * 2, or just

    Circumf = d * pi.

    Which comes out as 8 * 3.14159265 = 25.1327412.  Inches, of course, don't lose the units in there.

    That's a pretty big pipe, actually.

      The formula of circumference for any round shape is given as follows:
      Circumference =2 xPi x r

      Another formula with respect to Diameter of the round shape is,
      Diameter of circular shape =2 x Radius
                                              D =2R
      Now the circumference equation will convert into;
      Circumference= PixD
      where the value of Pi= 3.14159265
      Keep in mind that the value of Pi is dimensionless

      Now for 8 inch diameter pipe D=8"
      Circumference =pi x 8
      circumference= 3.14159265 x 8
      that comes out =25.1327412 inches
      Hope you can calculate the circumference of all type of circular shapes.

        Pi x D= circumference of circle
        where Pi is = 3.142857142
        where D is the diameter of the circle (ie: 8" or 8mm)
