Front

What is the center of a circle?

Back

The center of a circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle's circumference.

Front

What is the diameter of a circle?

Back

The diameter is a straight line that passes through the center of the circle and connects two points on its circumference. It is twice the length of the radius.
