All circles have a circumference, diameter and radius. They can be measured using a ruler or tape measure.

Time for a much needed makeover. I have always thought you were a bit on the scruffy side.
Hmm, not convinced these are the best guys for the job though.
But, no no no. Give it a go.
First, you'll need to measure the radius. That鈥檚 the measurement from the centre of the circle to the edge.
From the radius you can work out the diameter. That's the distance right across the centre of the circle.
The diameter is always twice as long as the radius.
And now the circumference. That's the distance all the way around the side of the circle.
Right, looking forward to seeing this.
Yeah鈥ouldn't give up the day job.
