<p>The perimeter of a shape is the total length of its boundary. In the case of a circle, the perimeter is known as the circumference. The diameter of the circle is used to calculate this perimeter. Perimeter is useful for tasks such as fencing a circular area, sewing circular patterns, and more. In this topic, we will learn about the perimeter of a circle using the diameter.</p>
