circumference The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference (C). diameter radius The diameter (d) of a circle is twice the radius (r).
Consider dividing a circle into 8 equal sectors: rearranging the sectors of the circle gives
Now consider dividing the circle into 12 equal sectors: rearranging the sectors of the circle gives r half circumference The more sectors there are, the closer the area gets to being a rectangle.
