The RADIUS.

Other nomenclature for a circle are:-

Diameter ; Two radii forming a straight line through the circle centre.

Chord ; A straight line from one point on the circle to another point on the circle that does NOT pass through the circle centre.

Arc ; Part of the circumference.

Segment ; An area inside the circle bounded by two radii and an arc.

Tangent ' A line just touching the circle's circumference in ONE place.

NB The plural of the noun 'Radius' is 'RADII' , not radiuses.

'Radii' is pronounced 'Ray- dee - eye'.

NNB 'pi' is the Classical Greek small case letter 'p' , for 'proportion. It is an Irrational number, but for elementary(school) purposes it is given as the approximation '3.14' or '22/7'

Being an Irrational number means the decimals are NOT in any regular order and go to infinity. pi ~ 3.141592.....

Is A radius is an angle that connects to any point on the circle to the center of that circle?

The question is: Is A radius is an angle that connects to any point on the circle to the center of that circle? A Radius is a straight line coming from any point of the circle to the center of the circle. And remember that the Diameter is a straight line coming from any point of the circle and going straight through the center to the other side of the circle. The Radius is ALWAYS half of the Diameter; and, the Diameter is ALWAYS twice the Radius.

what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment
