According to Wikipedia,
"The canonical example of extrinsic curvature is that of a circle, which has curvature equal to the inverse of its radius everywhere. Smaller circles bend more sharply, and hence have higher curvature. The curvature of a smooth curve is defined as the curvature of its osculating circle at each point."

What is difference between curvature and radius of curvature?
Curvature is a general term to describe a graph. Like, concave or convex. Radius of curvature is more exact. If the curve in a 'small' section is allow to continue with the same curvature it would form a circle. that PRETEND circle would have an exact radius. That is the radius of curvature.
What is the Area of a circle when the radius is 12?
Area of a circle is pi x r2 Area of a circle having a a radius of 12 units = 3.1416 x 144 units2 = 452.389 units2
Which term describe the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle?
The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle is called the radius of the circle. The radius is a line segment that starts at the center of the circle and ends at any point on the circle. It is always a straight line and is always perpendicular to the circumference of the circle. The radius is half the diameter of the circle, which is the distance across the circle through the center. The diameter of a circle is always twice the length of the radius.

How do you find the radius of a circle having the circumfernce?
Divide the circumference by Pi (3.14159), and that will give you the diameter. Divide that number by 2 to find the radius.
What is a radius circle?
If you mean "what is the radius of a circle", then the answer is the line segment or length from the center of circle to the set of points that form the circle. The radius is also half of the diameter.
