What is the formula to find the circumference of a circle?

  • A. Circumference = 2πr
  • B. Circumference = πr²
  • C. Circumference = 2r²
  • D. Circumference = r²π
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to find the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C represents the circumference and r is the radius of the circle. Choice B, Circumference = πr², represents the formula for the area of a circle rather than the circumference. Choice C, Circumference = 2r², is incorrect as it does not involve π in the formula. Choice D, Circumference = r²π, has the terms reversed compared to the correct formula; the formula should start with the constant (2) multiplied by π, followed by the radius.
