The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. Consider a regular
polygon inscribed in a circle. As the number of sides increases, the polygon
approximates the circle and the ratio of the perimeter of the polygon to the diameter
of the circle approaches π ≈ 3.14159. . ..
For all circles, the ratio of the circumference C to the diameter d is the same. This
C
ratio is — = π. Solving for C yields the formula for the circumference of a circle,
d
C = πd. Because d = 2r, you can also write the formula as C = π(2r) = 2πr.

Measuring Angles in Radians
Recall that in a circle, the ratio of the length of a given arc
to the circumference is equal to the ratio of the measure of
the arc to 360°. To see why, consider the diagram.

This form of the equation shows that the arc length associated with a central angle
mCD
is proportional to the radius of the circle. The constant of proportionality, — 2π,
360°
is defined to be the radian measure of the central angle associated with the arc.
⋅
In a circle of radius 1, the radian measure of a given central angle can be thought of
as the length of the arc associated with the angle. The radian measure of a complete
circle (360°) is exactly 2π radians, because the circumference of a circle of radius 1
is exactly 2π. You can use this fact to convert from degree measure to radian measure
and vice versa.

∠MPN is a central angle.
The diagram shows a regular polygon inscribed in a circle. The center of a regular
polygon and the radius of a regular polygon are the center and the radius of its
circumscribed circle.
The distance from the center to any side of a regular polygon is called the apothem
of a regular polygon. The apothem is the height to the base of an isosceles triangle
that has two radii as legs. The word “apothem” refers to a segment as well as a length.
For a given regular polygon, think of an apothem as a segment and the apothem as
a length.
A central angle of a regular polygon is an angle formed by two radii drawn to
consecutive vertices of the polygon. To find the measure of each central angle,
divide 360° by the number of sides.
