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.
Diameter of circle?
360 degrees * * * * * That is a nonsensical answer. The diameter of a circle is a straight line segment, going from the circumference of the circle, through the centre, to the circumference on the other side.
What is the perimeter of a circle and the diameter of a circle?
Circumference (perimeter) of a circle = pi x diameter Diameter of a circle is the straight line distance from one side to the other which passes through the centre of the circle.
What does the radious of each circle represent?
The radius of a circle is a straight line from the centre of the circle to its circumference.
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.
What is line from one end of the circle through the centre to the other end of the circle?
Longitude

What do you call a line that crosses the centre of a circle from 1 side to the other?
Such a line, if it is straight, is a diameter.
What is the middle of the circle called?
the line from the centre to the edge of a circle is called?
Why is half the diameter the radius?
A radius is a straight line from the circumference (boundary) of a circle to the centre. A diameter is a straight line that goes from the circumference to the centre and then continues until it reaches the circumference of the other side. In a circle, all points on the circumference are the same distance from the centre. As a result, the second part of the diameter is the same as the first. In other words, diameter = radius + radius = 2*radius.
What is radius?
Radius is half the diameter. The diameter of a circle is a straight line that passes from one side of the circle to the other through the centre of the circle. Half of that line is the radius.
What line that goes from one side of the circle to the other?
In geometry it is called the "Great Circle".
What is the radius of a circle with the diameter of 6?
The diameter is the length of a straight line, from one side of the circle to the other, passing through the centre. The radius is a straight line from the circle centre to the circle itself and is always = half the length of the diameter, so 6 * 0.5 = 3
How is the diameter of a circle represented?
A circle with a straight line through it, usually at an angle, and often with a small dot where the centre of the circle would be (also on the line, to clarify that the line does go through the centre).
What is diameter of a circle?
The diameter of a circle is a straight line going from one point on its boundary, through the centre of the circle, to the boundary on the other side.
What is a straight line fom the centre of the circle to the edge?
It is the radius of a circle
What is mathimatical radious?
In mathematics, the radius of an arc is a straight line from the centre of curvature of the arc to the arc. In the case of a circle it is the line from the circle's centre to its circumference.
