The radius of a circle is the distance from the centre of the circle to a point on the circumference of the circle.

If it is a drawing and the circle is to scale the radius can be measured with a ruler. If not, the radius can be calculated if the diameter, circumference or area of the circle is known.

the radius is equal to:

- the diameter divided by 2

- the circumference divided by 2pi(approx. 6.284)

- the square root of the area divided pi (divide by pi first, then take the square root)
