How do you find the radius and diameter of the circle?

The radius is half of the diameter. The diameter is double the radius. If you don't have either one then it can be pretty complicated to get an accurate measurement. If you know where the center of the circle is, then you can draw any line through the center, and measure the distance between the two points where the line hits the curved part of the circle. But if all you have is the circle, with no point to show you where the center is, then there's no simple method for measuring it precisely. You can bisect two chords, and the bisecting lines will intersect at the center, or you can just measure the greatest width (although this is not so accurate.) See the related link, The Parts of the Circle, below this answer.

How do you draw lines to show quarters of eight?

you divide 8 by 4 which gives you 2 so you draw 4 lines across a circle and then you have it!


How can you prove that the line between to points is a tangent of the smaller circle?

Step I: Show that both points are outside the smaller circles. Possibly by showing that distance from each point to the centre of the circle is greater than its radius. Step 2: Show that the line between the two points touches the circle at exactly one point. This would be by simultaneous solution of the equations of the line and the circle.

What does a radius in a circle looks like show picture?

I'm unable to show pictures. But a radius in a circle is a line segment that connects the center of the circle to any point on the circle's circumference. It is half the length of the diameter of the circle.


How do you draw a hemisphere?

To draw a hemisphere, start by drawing a circle. Then, draw a curved line cutting the circle in half vertically. This line represents the hemisphere's cut surface. Finally, shade one half of the circle to show the curved surface of the hemisphere.

How do you graph x is greater than negative four?

We assume you are graphing on a number line, not an x-y plane. Draw an "open" circle (not filled in) at -4, and a line from it across to the right end of the number line. Put an arrow on the end of the line to show that the graph continues to the right.
