A diameter of a circle is twice the length of a radius. Think of a diameter as two radii, both originating at the center of the circle and extending out at 180 degrees to each other to reach the edge of the circle. In this example, if the radius is 1.5, the diameter would be 3.
Only if they are placed in such a way as to make a straight line ,i.e., they should be placed at 180 degrees to each other.
A part of a circle enclosed by two radii is called a sector.
I always called it an arc. It is simply a section of the circle. The ends are determined by the two radii you referenced. Each of the radii start at the center of the circle and end at their intersection with the circle. The portion of the circle that lies between the ends of the two radii is an arc.
Their circumferences are in direct proportion to their radii. Their areas are in direct proportion to the square of their radii.
Yes. D = 2R
NoneAdditional Information:-Unless it is the diameter of the circle which is its the largest chord then it will have a length equal to two radii (but the chord itself has no radii).
Yes it is, two radii make up the dimater of a circle. :)
The sum of two radii of a circle is the same as the diameter of the circle.
The diameter STUPID!
The diameter of a hexagon will be any segment that joins two vertices of the hexagon and passes through its center. Since each of the angles of a hexagon is 120 degrees, than any triangle, which is formed by one side of the triangle and two radii, is an equilateral triangle, and so the lengths of radii are also 16 inches. Thus, the diameter (the sum of two radii) is 32 inches.
Think of a diameter as two radii in a straight line...
The radius is exactly half of the diameter. Two radii (plural for radius) smushed together gives you the diameter.
Is the diameter of a circle was 11cm the radius would be 5.5cm as two radii equals a diameter.
it would be the diameter of the smaller circle times sqrt 2
The diameter of a circle is twice length of a radius, because it is basically two radii (plural of radius) joined together so they form a continuous line across the circle. If you multiply the length of the radius, 40 meters, by 2, then you get the length of the diameter, 80 meters.
Draw a diameter on the circle from A to B and mark the midpoint, C (center of the circle). Mark the midpoint, D, of one of those radii (halfway between center and edge). Draw a perpendicular line to the diameter from D to the two edges of the circle, E and F. Draw radii from E to C and F to C. Lines AC, EC, and FC mark the three equal parts of a circle.
