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

What is halfway across the circle called?

It is the radius. More than one are radii. All the way across is the diameter.


Is diameter the measurement across a circle or the measurement around a cirlcle?

"Diameter" is the distance all the way across the circle, through the center."Radius" is 1/2 of the diameter ... the distance from the center to the curvy part of the circle."Circumference" is the distance all the way aroundthe circle.


Is a circle less than or equal to the radius?

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.


What is the definition of radius and diameter?

If you draw a line from one side of a circle to the other, and that line hits the center, and goes all the way across, it is the diameter. half of that line going from the center to the edge of the circle is the radius.


How to calculate how big of circle could be made with length of a line?

IF YOU HAVE A LINE THAT WILL GO AROUND THE CIRCLE, DIVIDING BY PI (3.14159) WILL GIVE YOU THE DIAMETER. HALF THE DIAMETER IS THE RADIUS. IF YOU HAVE A LINE FOR DIAMETER, MULTIPLY BY PI TO GIVE THE CIRCUMFERENCE. TO DRAW THE CIRCLE, FOLD THE LINE IN HALF AND HOLD AT THE FOLD. EITHER OR BOTH OF THE ENDS WILL SWING AROUND THE CIRCLE. IF YOU USE YOUR LINE FOR THE RADIUS, MULTIPLY THE LENGTH BY 2, THEN MULTIPLY THAT RESULT BY PI. RADIUS IS 1/2 THE DIAMETER (1/2 THE DISTANCE ACROSS) DIAMETER IS THE DISTANCE ACROSS CIRCUMFERENCE IS ALL THE WAY AROUND IF YOU HAVE A LINE THAT WILL GO AROUND THE CIRCLE, DIVIDING BY PI (3.14159) WILL GIVE YOU THE DIAMETER.

Find the radius of a circle which has a diameter of 3.6cm?

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.


Diameter vs radius?

diameter is length all the way across a circle radius is half of the diameter which is a dot in the center of the circle and it goes to all sides of the circle and it equals the same # throughout the 360 degrees


What is the space inside a circle?

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.

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.


In a circle what is a radius?

The distance from any point on the edge of the circle to the exact center. All the way across through the center is the diameter


Is circumference larger than radius?

Yes it is. Circumference is the whole area of the circle. Radius is from the middle to the side of the circle. Yes it is. The radius it half way across the circle from the center, while the circumference is all the way around the circle. The diameter is all the way across the circle, while being twice the radius. The circumference is about 3.14 times the diameter (or Pi if you prefer).


How many diameters in a circle?

The diameter is just the width of a circle. If you drew a straight line threw a 2D circle all the way across that would be it. If you Multiply the radius by 2 then you will get the Diameter. Or, if you know the area of the circle you divide the area by pi (3.14).

What is the diameter of a 44 inch 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)
