How do you find the circumference of 9?

A circle or ellipse has a circumference. A number, such as 9, does not.


What is the circumference in linear feet of 43560 square feet?

That depends on the figure. For example, for a circle, a 1:2 ellipse, and a 1:3 ellipse, you will get a different circumference for the same area.

Can you make a sentence about circumference?

It seems quite strange that the circumference of the Moon, as observed from the Earth, matches the circumference of the Sun. The perimeter of a circle or of an ellipse is called the circumference.


What is the true way to find the circumference of a oval?

Not quite sure what you mean by "true way". You can measure it with a string or a similar flexible object. Or you can measure length and width, and - assuming it is an ellipse - use the formula for the circumference of an ellipse - or rather, an approximation formula.


What is the perimeter or circumference of an oval or ellipse?

It isn't possible to give a generalised formula for the circumference of an ellipse in terms of elementary functions. The circumference (or perimeter) of an oval is represented by an infinite series based on multiple aspects of the oval including: * Eccentricity * Implied length ("major radius") * Implied width ("minor radius")


What is the difference between circumference and perimeter?

Circumference is only used for circles. Perimeter is for every other 2D shape.


What is the Ellipse which two buildings flank this area?

The Ellipse (officially called President's Park South) is a 52-acre park located between the White House and the Washington Monument. Properly, the Ellipse is the name of the five-furlong circumference street within the park.


What is a cicumfrunce?

A circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle (or ellipse). You can find it if you know the diameter or radius. Circumference = diameter x pi = 2 x radius x pi.


What is the circumference of 15 ft by 30 ft elliptical?

The circumference of an ellipse is given by an integral, though it can be approximated through some workable formulae. One such formula gives an approximate length of 72.66 ft (if the lengths given are diameters; if they are semi-axes, it gives a length of approx 145.33 ft - twice as long as the ellipse is twice as big).


What is the circumference of a 30' by 15' oblong pool?

An "oblong" is not a specific shape since it could refer to the shape of a running track or an ellipse. The former is effectively circle into which two parallel straight sections have been inserted whereas the second has a finite curvature throughout. The circumference of a tracklike pool is 77.1 feet while for an ellipse it is 70.7 feet.


What is circumference of oval 20 cm X 57 cm?

Minor axis = 20, major axis = 57 Perimeter of ellipse = 128 cms.
