Answer:

4 Units

Explanation:

A diameter is a line that passes through the center of a circle thus dividing it into two semicircles. A radius is half of a diameter, a line drawn from any part of the circumference of the circle to the center of the circle.

Given that the diameter of circle S is 30 units, the radius of the circle CS

= 30/2 units

= 15 unit

If DS = 9 units and from the circle, we know that

DC + DS = CS

DC = 15 - 9

= 6 Units

If the diameter of circle R is 20 units then the radius DR

= 20/2 units

= 10 units

but CR + DC = DR

Hence CR = 10 units - 6 units

= 4 Units
