Identifying Radius, Diameter, and Circumference Practice 27 2¥Y¥IWVIVIOIY Reminders + The circumference is the distance around a circle. ‘+ The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. ‘+ The diameter is a line segment extending from one side of the circle to the other through the center of the circle. + The diameter is twice the radius. Directions: Label the circumference, the radius, and the diameter on these circles. . GS . : : 3. Directions: Use the information on the circles to find the values. a 6. ne _ TS diameter = diameter = 4 circumference = circumference = 7 8 = (ey) Se diameter = diameter = EEC SeCircumference A circle is a closed curved figure. A radius is a line segment that connects a point on a circle with the center, ‘A chord is a line segment that connects any two points on a circle. A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of a circle, It is twice the length of a radius. comms ‘The circumference is the distance around a circle. Chords: AD and AC For all circles, the ratio of the circumference to its diameter is pi (n), approximately equal to 3.14 or 3+. In other words, the circumference of any circle is about 3.14 times as long as its diameter.
