  • The distance across a circle through its center is called its diameter.
  • Diameter is twice the radius.

    DC is the chord
    SC is the diameter
    PC is the radius
    P is the center
  • Diameter is the biggest chord and divides the circle into exactly two halves.
  • The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle.
  • The distance around a circle is called its circumference.
  • The formula to find the circumference of the circle is C = Pi x 2 x r
  • The area of the circle is A = Pi x r2
