To find the circumference and area of any diameter greater than any in the preceding table. Rule. - Multiply any diameter given above by the factor 2, 3, 4, or 5, etc., the product of which will be the diameter whose circumference and area are wanted. Example. - What is the circumference of 140? Tabular diameter of 35 X 4 = 140. Tabular circumference of 35 = 109.9 X 4 = 439.6, circumference wanted. Rule for the Area. - Multiply the tabular area of tabular diameter by the square of the factor. Example. - What is the area of 140? Tabular area of 35 = 962.11 X 16 (is the square of the factor 4) = 15,393.76, area wanted. The Circle. - The circumference of a circle is equal to the diameter multiplied by 3.1416. The area of a circle is equal to the square of the diameter multiplied by .7854.
