It's called the diameter. The diameter is: 12756.2 kilometers from side to side. Hope this helps!

A straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points circumference?
The diameter.
What is the length of 27 inches in diameter?
Wait, what? I believe diameter is the measurement straight across the middle of a circle, not a unit of measurement. So if a circle were to be 27 inches in diameter, it would be 27 inches from one side of the circle to the other, with the line going exactly through the center of the circle. Basically, cutting the circle in half.
What is the difference of diameter and meter?
The diameter is a straight line going from a point on the circumference of a circle, through the centre of the circle, to another point on the circumference. It can be of any length. A metre is a standard unit for measuring length.
How do you divide a circle into equal pieces?
It depends on the number of pieces that you need. To Divide the Circle in Half: There are two easy ways to divide a circle: using a compass or using six more circles of the exact same size. Using Six More Identical Circles 1. Place the six identical circles around original, so that they all touch it. Every one of these circles should touch the center circle, and it's two neighbours. The fit should be perfect. 2. Mark the points where each of the surrounding circles touch the center circle. 3. Draw a line between any two opposing marks. This line exactly divides your circle. Using a Compass 1. Set the width of the compass to equal the radius of the circle. This can be done by trial and error if necessary. That is, choosing a likely size, draw a circle, compare with original, and adjust. 2. Mark a point on the edge of the original circle. 3. Place the point of the compass on this spot. 4. There are two new points on the circle which the compass, on either side of the first point. Mark the new points. 5. For each new point, place the point of the compass there and mark one more point, as before. You should now have 5 points marked. 6. If you wish, mark a sixth point from the two newest marks. Both marks should touch the same point, if they don't your radius or your marks have been inaccurate. 7. Draw a line between any two opposing marks. This line exactly divides your circle. To Divide the Circle in Sixths This is the same as dividing the circle in half, above, but draw lines between all three sets of opposing marks. To Divide the Circle in Thirds 1. Initially divide the circle into sixths. 2. These three lines should meet at the center of the circle. Mark the center. 3. Remove every other line segment between the center and the edge of the circle (circumference). To Divide the Circle into N Equal Parts You will need a protractor for this, and possibly a calculator. 1. Initially divide the circle into sixths, above. 2. Mark the point where the divisions cross, this is the center of the circle. 3. Remove five of the six line segments between the center and edge (circumference) of the circle. 4. Determine angle of each wedge by dividing 360 by N ( 360/N ) where N is the number of equal pieces that you want. For example if you want 9 pieces then 360/9 = 40. So you wedge angle is 40 degrees. 5. With the center of the protractor at the center of the circle and the one line at 0 degrees, mark of your wedge angle on both sides of the line. For example, if your first line is straight up and down, then mark 40 degrees to the left and to the right. 6. Draw a line from the center of the circle, through your mark, and to the edge of the circle. 7. Continue marking of your angle around the circle and drawing lines, going both directions, until your marks meet. Further Information There are ways to divide circles using templates that are purchased. You may also make many more divisions using only a compass and strait edge, besides two and six, but these can be much more complex and are probably too difficult to describe without a diagram.
How pi equals 180?
For a circle, 2 pi r is the circumference of a circle. If you imagine yourself standing at the center of a circular race track, to follow a car going around the track once, you would have to rotate 360 degrees, which in radians is expressed as 2pi. Radians is basically another measure for degrees based on the circumference of a circle. since 180 degrees is one half of a full rotation on half of a full rotation in radians (2pi) should = pi.
What is the radius of a circle with the diameter of 8?
4 units The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to the edge. The diameter of a circle is the distance from the edge, going through the center, to the opposite edge.
What is The distance across the center of a circle called?
The distance from one side of a circle to the other going through the center is called the Diameter, the distance from any side to the center (half the diameter) is called the radius.
Could you explain the radius of a circle?
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to the outer edge Also known as half of the diameter. The diameter is the distance from opposite edges of the circle going through the centre.
What are diameters in a circle?
The diameter of a circle is the distance from one side of the circle to the other side by a straight line going through the center point of the circle. The longest distance between any two points on a circle. One-half of the diameter is the radius. That is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle by a straight line. The square of the radius (the radius times the radius) times the value of pi is equal to the distance around the circle called the circumference.
What is a line segment that connects any two points on a circle with out going through the center of the circle?
Chord
The distance from the edge of a circle to the edge going through the centre is called?
The diameter.
How many lines of symmetry are found to be in a circle?
infinite across any diametric line. ie going through the circle passing through the center
How many lines of symmetry are there in a circle?
A circle has infinite lines of symmetry, any line going through the center is a line for symmetry.
A straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points circumference?
The diameter.
What mean of Pi related to circle?
Pi is the ratio of the circumference (the length going around the outside of the circle) to its diameter (the length going across the circle and through the center). Pi is constant for all circles.
A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere?
A straight line passing from side to side going through the middle of a circle or sphere is a diameter.
What is a straight line through a circle not going through the middle?
a chord. i took geometry this year. here are some other things that way help. Circle- a set of points that are equidistant from the center of the circle Diameter- a line segment that passes through the center point and has its endpoints on the circle. Radius- a line segment that connects from the center point to the circle Chord- a line segment that has its endpoints on the circle. Arc- a section of the circle's outer points. Semicircle- half of a circle. Central Angle- an angle that has its' vertex as the center point of the circle. Inscribed Polygon- a polygon that has all its' vertexes on the circles outer points. kk :-)
