Draw a line from any part on the outside of a circle to the exact center of the circle.
* * * * *
That is fine if you know where the center is but not much use if you are just given a circle and do not know where the exact centre is. In this case:
Draw a chord - a straight line joining any two points on the circumference of the circle. Then draw the perpendicular bisector of the chord.
Draw another chord and its perpendicular bisector. The two perpendicular bisectors will meet at the centre.

find the radius of a circle with circumference of 42.1
The director circle of a circle with radius r is a concentric circle with radius r*sqrt(2).
It depends on the values you have. The base of a cylinder is a circle. If you know the circle's diameter, half it to find the radius. If you know the circle's circumference, divide by 2pi to find the radius. If you know the circle's area, divide by pi and take the square root to find the radius.
You already know the radius.
Diameter of a circle = 2*radius Circumference of a circle = 2*radius*pi
