Page 240 - The circumferences of two circles have the same ratio to each other as their radii, or as their diameters. Thus, if the radius of a circle be doubled, the circumference will also be doubled ; or, if the diameter be trebled, the circumference will also be trebled ; and so on. It follows that the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is the same for all circles.
