What name is given to the distance around circle
Well now, that depends. What do you mean when you say "a 44 inch circle" ? -- If "44 inches" is the distance across the fattest part of the circle, then its diameter is 44 inches. -- If "44 inches" is the distance from the center of the circle out to the edge, then the diameter is 88 inches. -- If "44 inches" is the distance all the way around the circle, then the diameter is 44/pi = 14 inches (rounded)
No, the distance around a circle is called the circumference. The radius is the distance from the exact center of the circle to the edge of the circle and is one half of the diameter. The diameter is one straight line passing through the center of the circle from one end to the other. The circumference can be determined from the following equation: C = pi * d or C = 2*pi*r
Diameter is the distance across a circle through the center. Circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle. Circumference is always pi (3.14) times larger than diameter.Note:pi is approximately 3.14
The distance from a circle to its center (the dot in the middle) is called 'the radius'. The distance from a circle to a point opposite is called 'the diameter'. The diameter is twice the length of the radius.
