This applet illustrates the circumference of a circle by wrapping a string around it.[br][list][*]Drag the blue point to change the diameter of the circle. [br][/*][*]Measure the circumference. [br][/*][*]Calculate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter [/*][/list]   (enter first "=" followed by "circumference/diameter").
