The line that goes around, or envelopes, a circle is the circumference of the circle. It is found by multiplying the diameter of the circle, which is a line that crosses the center, by pi.

What is it called when a line goes halfway across a circle?

The radius of a circle is one half of the circle's diameter, any line going from the center of the circle to the circle itself. A line connecting other points on a circle (or on any curve) is called a chord.


What is line right across the circle called?

Diameter, don't confuse it with the radius which is the line that goes from centre to rim.


What is the line that goes around the globe with a parallel line?

Do you mean, like, the Earth? The equator. If you mean the line going from side to side across the middle of a circle then... the diameter of a circle


What is the line that runs straight across a circle?

Diameter runs straight across. Radius only goes half way, to the center.


A straight line across a circle through the centre?

Line through the center of a circle is the diameter or distance across the circle.


What is the definition of radius and diameter?

If you draw a line from one side of a circle to the other, and that line hits the center, and goes all the way across, it is the diameter. half of that line going from the center to the edge of the circle is the radius.


Does a diameter go all the way across or halfway across a circle?

A diameter goes all the way across a circle through the center. A radius goes half way across, from the center to any point on the circle. So a circle's diameter is two times its radius.All the way through the centre of the circle but the radius only goes half way from the centre of the circle


What is The distance across the circle is?

diameterA straight line between one point on a circle's edge and another is called a chord. A chord that goes through the centre is called the diameter.The disance across a circle is called a diameter, if you half that it will be called the raidus


What is The distance across the circle is called the?

The distance half way across a circle is the circle's radius.radias


What is the longest line across a circle?

It is a diameter, the line that cuts the circle in an exact half.It is the diameter and passes through the center of the circle.


What is a line that goes through a circle?

A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.


How do you work out the perimeter of a semi circle?

Measure the diameter of the circle,this is a line taken right across the circle that goes through the centre. Now multiply by pi =3.142 and divide by 2 to get the length of half the circumference.
