Understanding Circle Properties: Diameter vs Radius Explained
Learn how the diameter of a circle is directly related to its radius, along with simple formulas for calculations.
266 views
The diameter of a circle is always twice the radius. If you know the radius (r), multiply it by 2 to get the diameter (D = 2r). Similarly, if you have the diameter, divide it by 2 to find the radius (r = D/2).
FAQs & Answers
- How do you calculate the diameter from the radius? Multiply the radius by 2 (D = 2r) to get the diameter.
- What is the relationship between diameter and radius? The diameter is always twice the radius of a circle.
- Can you find the radius if you only have the diameter? Yes, divide the diameter by 2 (r = D/2) to calculate the radius.
- What is the formula for the area of a circle? The area can be calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius.
