The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle, out to the edge of the circle. The distance all the way across the circle is the "diameter." Half of the diameter is the radius.
Typical answer from The WikiAnswers Community: IT IS WRONG!The diameter is the distance across the circle, through its centre. It is double the radius, not the other way round!
If a circle has a diameter of 10 inches across it then its radius is half of 10 inches which is 5 inches.
A diameter goes all the way across a circle through the center. A radius goes half way across, from the center to any point on the circle. So a circle's diameter is two times its radius.All the way through the centre of the circle but the radius only goes half way from the centre of the circle
Halfway across a circle
If a circle has a diameter of 10 inches across it then its radius is half of 10 inches which is 5 inches.
The radius of a circle is half its diameter (the measure of the circle from one side across to the other).
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle, out to the edge of the circle. The distance all the way across the circle is the "diameter." Half of the diameter is the radius.

The length across the circle. 2 x the radius.
Halfway across a circle
Half the distance across a circle.
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to an outside edge of the circle. The diameter is the distance all the way across the circle. Therefore, the radius is half the value of the diameter.
Oh, what a delightful question! To find the radius of a circle, we simply divide the diameter by 2. So, if the circle is 24 feet across, the radius would be 12 feet. Just imagine all the happy little circles you can create with that radius!
Circumference is the outside of the circle and the inside is the are of the circle. And inside of the circle, there is diameter and radius. Radius is from the center point to the edge of the circle and diameter is all the way across.
