Answer:

2.5 cm

Explanation:

The line to the right of the object indicates the diameter. Therefore, the diameter is 5 cm.

The diameter is twice the radius, or

d=2r

We know the diameter is 5, so we can substitute that in for d

5=2r

To solve for r, we need to get r by itself. To do this, divide both sides by 2. This will cancel the 2s on the right.

5/2=2r/2

2.5=r

So, the radius is 2.5 centimeters
