Radius, Diameter, and Circumference of circles

Front

What is the radius of a circle?

Back

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.

Front

What is the diameter of a circle?

Back

The diameter is the distance across the circle, passing through the center. It is twice the radius.

What does the term 'circumference' refer to?

Back

Circumference is the measurement around the circle.

Front

If a circle has a circumference of 31.4 cm, what is its radius?

Back

Radius = Circumference / (2 × π) = 31.4 / (2 × 3.14) = 5 cm.
