Note: To find the circumference you could
a) Get a flexible ruler that is used for sewing.
b) Use a string around the circumference and then measure the length of the string.
Fill in the table with the diameter and circumference of your object. Then find the ratio of the circumference to the diameter.

- All the ratios of the circumference to the diameter should be close to the same number. If not, double check your measurements. What special number is equal to the ratio of the circumference to the diameter?
- Do you think that this ratio is the same if the circles are measured in miles rather than centimeters or inches?
