a ruler or a compass

The best tool to locate the center of a circle would be a compass. By placing the compass on the edge of the circle and drawing an arc, then repeating this process from another point on the circle, the intersection point of the arcs will give you the center of the circle.

Which term best describes the collection of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in a plane?
"Circle". That "same distance" is the radius of the circle, and that "given point" is the center of the circle.
What would best suit data that described how a part relates to the whole?
Circle graph.
Which term best describes the set of all points in a plane that are a certain distance from the single point?
===> "circle", with center at the "single point" and radius of the "certain distance".
What is the circumference of a circle that has a diameter of 25.8cm?
to 13sf its 81.053090462 but that is what retards would put, the best way of putting it is 25.8π
A sphere with radius 17 m is cut by a plane that is 8 m below its center Which is the best approximation of the area of the circle formed by the intersection of the plane and the sphere?
If you view the plane edge-on so that it appears as a line cutting through the sphere which appears as a circle, you can create a right triangle from the circle's center point down to the closest point on the line, then along the line to one of the points where it intersects the circle. The leg of the triangle going down from the center point is 8 meters long. The hypotenuse of the triangle, running from the circle's center to the point of intersection at the circles edge, is the radius of the circle which is 17 m. We can now calculate the remaining leg of this right triangle (side 1 squared + side 2 squared = hypotenuse squared) as 82+x2 = 172 so x = 15. This leg of the triangle is half the length of the line segment within the circle, or going back to 3 dimensions, it is the radius of the circle created by the plane passing through the sphere. The area of this circle is therefor pi * r2 where r = 15 so the area is approximately 707.
What is the best definition of the radius of a circle?
A straight line from the center to the circumference.The distance from the center to any point on the circle
Which best describes the diameter of a circle?
The length of a chord that contains the center of the circle
Which term best describes the center of the circle to any point on the circle?
That's called the 'radius'.
What does the name jackeline mean?
jackeline means a sister that is the best in the best in the family and the one that is the center of the circle
How do you find the center of irregular shap?
How the center of irregular shapes I am unaware of, but for triangles, where any one side is flat on altitude 0, the altitude of the center is 2 x Area divided by Perimeter That formula is used for getting the in-radius of a circle. The center of the circle of best fit is the center of the triangle.
Which term best describes the collection of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in a plane?
"Circle". That "same distance" is the radius of the circle, and that "given point" is the center of the circle.
How can a circle graph be used to compare data?
A circle graph or pie chart shows the relative size relationship among parts of a whole as a circle with lines from the center to the edge dividing the circle into parts of the same relative sizes. For example, if you wanted to illustrate that 3/16 of the class likes breakfast best, 5/16 prefers lunch and half prefer dinner, you would show a circle divided into three parts, one part being 3/16 of the circle, one part that is 5/16 of the circle, and the third being half of the circle. In other words, you would make a line from a point on the circle through the center to the point on the opposite edge of the circle, dividing it in half. Then you would draw another line from the center to the edge that is 67.5° or 112.5° from the first line (67.5° is 3/16 of 360°, 112.5° is 5/16 of 360°, and 360° is a full circle). Then label the parts.

Which reference material would best help a student locate synonyms for a word?

Where is an Antarctic penguin's shelter?
Penguins huddle together, and do the best taking turns to move to the center of the circle where they are best protected. That is all they can do, but penguins are pretty sturdy animals!
