Question

What is the radius and diameter of the following circle?
16 cm

Answer 1

radius is 16

diameter is 32

Explanation:

Your radius is the line starting from the point in the middle to any part of the edge of the circle. A diameter is when there is a long straight line from both ends reaching the edges of the circle crossing the point.

A diameter is just the radius doubled but except it all has to be straight coming reaching both edges.

A radius is half of a diameter.

Answer 2

radius = 16 cm

diameter = 32 cm

Explanation:

radius = a straight line from the center of the circle to any point on the circle's circumference

We are given the radius (16 cm)

The diameter is equal to twice the length of the radius

So diameter = 16 * 2

16*2=32 so the length of the diameter is 32 cm
