Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter is the longest line that you can draw in a circle passing through the centre of the circle.

Radius is the line joining the centre of the circle to any point on the circumference.

Explanation:

Diameter is the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the irrational constant 'pi' (3.1415...). Radius is the half of the diameter.

D=2x radius and radius =D/2

Actually pi is defined to be the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the diameter of the circle. Therefore, you can solve for the diameter from that equation.

π=C/D , D=C/π Or , C=π x D

I hope that help you
