Why is the diameter of a circle always twice the length of the radius?

A circle is the locus of points that are equidistant from a fixed point. As a result, all radii of the circle must be of the same length. A diameter is a straight line that goes from the circumference to the centre and on to the circumference on the other side. Thus it is a radius from the circumference to the centre and then another radius from the centre to the circumference. And since these are the same, it is 2 radii in length.


What is the circumference of a circle?

The circumference is the distance around the circle, its "perimeter."The circumference of a circle is equal to π times the diameter of the circle (C = πd), or π times twice the radius of the circle (C = 2πr).The circumference is the distance around itIf you know the diameter (width) of the circle, you can use the formulaCircumference= Diameter x pi (approx 3.1416)Example : if a circle has a diameter of 5 cm then the circumference is 5 x π =5π (about 15.7 cm)The actual formula relates to the radius of the circle, which is half the diameter.Radius Formula : C = 2πr (2 pi times the radius)As long you remember the formula you should be fine....Circumference = 2 * pi * rOr pi * dwhere r = radius & d = diameter of the circle.Also pi (=3.143) can be roughly put down as 22/7 if you more comfy with fractions than the decimals.the equation is 2*pi*rr being the radius


How big is 50m diameter?

A 50-meter diameter is equivalent to the distance across a circle from one edge to the other passing through the center, measuring 50 meters in length. In terms of area, a circle with a 50-meter diameter would have a radius of 25 meters and an area of approximately 1,963.5 square meters (πr^2). This size can be visualized as a circle with a radius of 25 meters or a little over 82 feet.


How do you increase the size of a circle?

Increase the length of the radius


If the diameter of a circle is doubled does the area double?

The area will be four times as big. If a circle is going to retain its shape as a circle it has to get twice as big not just from left to right, but from top to bottom also. So you're doubling the size in both directions.

If the diameter of a circle is 8 feet the radius will be?

The radius would be 4 feet I know this because the diameter is always 2x the size of the radius.
