Circumference and Area of a Circle
To calculate the circumference (which is like perimeter) and the area of a circle, you need a special irrational number: pi. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Watch this lecture series to explore the circumference and area of circles, and complete the interactive exercises.
