Introduction

If you’re a dedicated reader, then you already know how important it is to measure things. That’s why I’m going to tell you how to measure the diameter of your toilet paper rolls. It’s not hard—you just need some basic math skills and some patience. But first, let’s talk about why this information is so important:

The circumference of a toilet paper roll is the distance around it, measured in inches.

The circumference of a toilet paper roll is the distance around it, measured in inches. The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is:

• Circumference = pi (3.14) times diameter
• Diameter = width + thickness

The circumference is important because you’ll need to know how much paper to use for a certain job.

If you’re cutting a roll, for example, you’ll want to measure the length of your new roll and cut it at that point. If you’re designing an origami crane or making an igloo out of TP rolls (I know people who’ve done both), knowing the circumference will allow you to calculate how many squares are needed in each project.

The circumference of a toilet paper roll will vary depending on the brand and style of toilet paper that you’re using.

The circumference of a toilet paper roll will vary depending on the brand and style of toilet paper that you’re using. Some brands are wider than others, so they’ll have a bigger circumference. Also, some styles are longer than others (like jumbo rolls), so they’ll have a smaller circumference. Finally, there’s also variation between different types of rolls: some are made from single-ply tissue while others are two-ply; some are thick and fluffy while others are thin and flat; still other rolls may be embossed with patterns or textures to add interest to your bathroom decor!

To find the circumference of an old roll, measure from one end of the roll to the other and then multiply by pi (3.14).

To do this, place your ruler over one end of the toilet paper roll and wrap it around until you reach where you started. Then measure how far apart those two points are on your ruler–this will tell you how wide your circle is going to be when it’s all wrapped up in a spiral shape!

To find the circumference of a new roll, measure from one end to just past where you want your cut. Then multiply by pi for accuracy.

If you’re trying to make sure that your roll will fit in the holder or dispenser, measure its diameter and compare it with the number on your package (or, if you’re buying online, look up what size they say they are).

To get an accurate measurement, make sure that your measurement does not include how much tape (if any) remains on either end of the roll.

To get an accurate measurement, make sure that your measurement does not include how much tape (if any) remains on either end of the roll.

• Take a ruler and measure from one end of the toilet paper roll to another end.
• Don’t include any remaining length of paper or tape at either end; they are not part of the circumference!
• Multiply this number by 3.1416 (pi) to get an accurate representation:

You can figure out how much toilet paper you need by measuring the diameter of your toilet paper rolls

You can figure out how much toilet paper you need by measuring the diameter of your toilet paper rolls. Diameter is the distance from one side of a circle to the other, so it’s like measuring across your roll at its widest point. Circumference is the distance around a circle, which is 2*pi*r (where r is radius). If you know both measurements, then multiplying them together gives you total area in square inches or square feet.

To find out if your bathroom has enough room for extra rolls and dispensers:

Measurements (in inches): ____ dia., _____ circumference

2(pi)(r) = A = total area

And there you have it! The circumference of a toilet paper roll is an important measurement in order to get the most out of your toilet paper. If you’ve ever wondered how much paper will fit on your roll or if you have any other questions about measuring circumference, then we hope this article has helped answer them for you.
