Answer:diameter of circle A is

(2r - 10) centimeters while Answer:diameter of circle B is 2r

Explanation:

Diameter = radius/2

Circle A has a radius that is 5 centimeters less than the radius of Circle B. It means that if the radius of circle B is 5 centimeters, then the radius of circle A would be (r - 5) centimeters. Also,

The diameter of circle B would be

2 × r = 2r centimeters

Therefore, the diameter of circle A would be expressed as

2(r - 5) = (2r - 10) centimeters
