Answer:

Hey mate!

The radius is 4km

Here's how:-

Diameter is 2 times the radius.

That means, the radius is half of the diameter.

So, radius equals 8 divided by 2.

Radius is 4cm.

Hope it helps!

If you have any more queries or didn't understand my answer, let me know in the comments so I can help you!

Explanation:

Diameter = 2x Radius

Radius = 1/2 Diameter


= (1)/(2) * 8 \\ = 4km
