IF YOU HAVE A LINE THAT WILL GO AROUND THE CIRCLE, DIVIDING BY PI (3.14159) WILL GIVE YOU THE DIAMETER. HALF THE DIAMETER IS THE RADIUS. IF YOU HAVE A LINE FOR DIAMETER, MULTIPLY BY PI TO GIVE THE CIRCUMFERENCE. TO DRAW THE CIRCLE, FOLD THE LINE IN HALF AND HOLD AT THE FOLD. EITHER OR BOTH OF THE ENDS WILL SWING AROUND THE CIRCLE. IF YOU USE YOUR LINE FOR THE RADIUS, MULTIPLY THE LENGTH BY 2, THEN MULTIPLY THAT RESULT BY PI. RADIUS IS 1/2 THE DIAMETER (1/2 THE DISTANCE ACROSS) DIAMETER IS THE DISTANCE ACROSS CIRCUMFERENCE IS ALL THE WAY AROUND IF YOU HAVE A LINE THAT WILL GO AROUND THE CIRCLE, DIVIDING BY PI (3.14159) WILL GIVE YOU THE DIAMETER.

What is the length of the radius of the circle?
The radius of a circle is the length of the line from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.
Both the red and blue line segments stretch from the center of the circle to a point on the circle The length of the blue line segment is 17?
Every line segment between the center of a circle and any point on the circleis the same length as all the others.That length is called the 'radius' of that particular circle.
What is the diameter of a circle?
A chord of a circle is a straight line that joins any two points on the circumference of a circle. The diameter of a circle is the length of the chord that passes through the centre of the circle; it is the chord of longest length and is twice the radius of the circle in length.
What does the term diameter of a circle mean?
Diameter of a circle is a line that goes from one side of the circle, passes through the center of the circle, and touches the other side of the circle. So a circle could have a diameter of length 2 inches, or maybe 7 feet, etc. If the line does not pass through the center of the circle, it is not a diameter.
Is a line across a cirCle called a diameter?
yes half of that line is called the radius (used to calculate the area of a circle)
What is the length of the radius of the circle?
The radius of a circle is the length of the line from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.
How do you change a diameter in radius?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line that goes through the exact center of a circle. The radius of a circle is the length of a straight line that starts at the exact center and reaches the circle. The radius is half the length of the diameter.
A line segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle?
what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment
How is a diameter worked out?
A circle has an infinite number if diameters, but they are all the same length. The length of the diameter of a circle is the length of the longest straight line that can be drawn completely inside the circle. If the center of the circle is marked, then it's easy to draw a line that is a diameter ... it's any line that passes through the center of the circle.
Both the red and blue line segments stretch from the center of the circle to a point on the circle The length of the blue line segment is 17?
Every line segment between the center of a circle and any point on the circleis the same length as all the others.That length is called the 'radius' of that particular circle.
Both the red and blue line segments stretch from the center of the circle to a point on the circle The length of the blue line segment is 7 How long is the red line segment?
If it is a circle and not an oval, they should be the same length. 7.
How do you calculate the linear measurement of a circle?
In order to calculate the linear measurement of a circle, divide the circumference by pi to calculate the diameter of the circle. Then multiply the radius by 2 to find the diameter, and divide the radius by 0.5 to calculate the diameter.
How do you find the radious of a circle?
The radius of a circle is any straight line from the centre of the circle to its circumference. The radius can also refer to the length of this line.
In a circle which line is twice the length of the radius?
The diameter
How do you determine length and width of a circle?
there is no length or width of a circle. There is radius and circumference and the line that goes all the way through the center to the other side of the circle, which is twice the radius. But there is no length or width of a circle.
What is the diameter of a circle?
A chord of a circle is a straight line that joins any two points on the circumference of a circle. The diameter of a circle is the length of the chord that passes through the centre of the circle; it is the chord of longest length and is twice the radius of the circle in length.
What does the term diameter of a circle mean?
Diameter of a circle is a line that goes from one side of the circle, passes through the center of the circle, and touches the other side of the circle. So a circle could have a diameter of length 2 inches, or maybe 7 feet, etc. If the line does not pass through the center of the circle, it is not a diameter.
