The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.
Unless the chord is the diameter, there is no way to measure the radius of the circle. This is because the radius is in no way dependent on chord length since circles have infinite amount of chord lengths.
all you have to do is find a line with two endpoints on the circle also a diameter is the longest chord on a circle that runs through the middle of the circle.
The length of a chord = pi*r*x/180 where x is the angle subtended. = pi*5*80/180 = 6.98 cm
If you have only the arc length then you cannot find the diameter.
It'll be the largest chord of the circle.

If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.
The diameter of a circle is simply twice the radius. It is the length of a chord running thru the center point of the circle. Can also be found by taking the circumference and dividing it by pi.

The width, or the length of a circle are its diameter.
There are a couple of different ways of finding the length of the chord of a circle. Probably the best is what is called the half angle formula.
A chord - is a straight-line joining two points on the circumference. The longest chord is the diameter.
It depends on what information you have: radius, diameter, lengths of tangents from a point outside the circle, length of chord and its distance from the centre, etc. Also, the term is circumference, not circumfrence.
