diameter is the the whole width, while radius is half of it. so all you need to do is divide 5 by 2 and get 2.5

Answer:

radius = 2.5 inches

Explanation:

To find the radius of a circle given it's diameter we use the formula


radius = (diameter)/(2)

From the question

diameter = 5 inches

Substitute this value into the above formula and solve

That's


radius = (5)/(2)

We have the final answer as

radius = 2.5 inches

Hope this helps you
