A circle doesn't really have an edge, per se. But I think what you are referring to is a tangent.
A tangent is a line that touches the perimeter of the circle at only one point.

A line touching a circle at one point?
A tangent line.
What is a line segment that extends from one edge of the circle to the other edge of the circle?
diameter.
What is a radiu s of a circle?
If you draw a line from the center of a circle to the edge of a circle, you have drawn the radius of the circle. If you draw a line from the edge of a circle through the center of the circle and on to the edge on the opposite side, you have drawn the diameter of a circle. The radius of a circle is one half the diameter of a circle.

Diameter of a circle is 16cm what is the radius?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line from a point on the edge of the circle passing through the center of the circle and onto a point on the opposite edge of the circle. The radius of a circle is the length of a straight line from the center of a circle to a point on the edge of the edge of the circle. So the radius of a circle is half its diameter, in this case 8cm.
