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.)

the radius is half the diameter
The diameter of a circle is simply twice the radius of the circle. The radius is a line that starts from the center of the circle to the circumference of the circle. The diameter is a line that passes through the circle. diameter=2xradius
The radius is half the diameter.
Area of Circle = pi (radius)2 So , using this formula we can find the radius and also the diameter. Diameter = 2(radius)
The radius of a circle is half of the diameter. Radius= Diameter divided by 2
