Relation between Diameter Radius and Circumference

Relation between diameter radius and circumference are discussed here.

Relation between Diameter and Radius:

Relation between radius and diameter of a circle

In this figure, we have a circle with centre O.

OA is the radius and PQ is the diameter.

Relation between radius OA and diameter PQ.

You will find that.

PQ = 2 OA

Therefore, Diameter = 2 × Radius

In other words, we say diameter is twice the radius.

Relation between Radius and Diameter of a Circle

1. What is the relation between diameter and radius?

Solution:

Diameter of a circle is twice of its radius.

Formula:

Diameter = 2 radius

Radius = \(\frac{Diameter}{2}\)

For Example:

1. Find the diameter of a circle whose radius is 4.5 cm.

Solution:

We know, Diameter = 2 radius.

Radius = 4.5 cm.

= 2 x 4.5 cm.

= 9 cm.

Therefore, diameter = 9 cm.


2. Find the radius of a circle whose diameter is 7 cm.

Solution:

We know, Radius = Diameter/2

Diameter = 7 cm.

= 7/2 cm.

= 3.5 cm.

Therefore, radius = 3.5 cm.


3. Find the diameter of a circle whose radius is 1.5 cm.

Solution:

We know, Diameter = 2 radius.

Radius = 1.5 cm.

= 2 x 1.5 cm.

= 3 cm.

Therefore, diameter = 3 cm.


4. Find the radius of a circle whose diameter is 8 cm.

Solution:

We know, Radius = Diameter/2

Diameter = 8 cm.

= 8/2 cm.

= 4 cm.

Therefore, radius = 4 cm.



5. Find the diameter of a circle whose radius is 2 cm.

Solution:

We know, Diameter = 2 radius.

Radius = 2 cm.

= 2 x 2 cm.

= 4 cm.

Therefore, diameter = 4 cm.


6. If the radius of a circle is 3 cm, find its diameter.

Solution: Diameter = 2 × Radius

                              = 2 × 3 cm

                              = 6 cm.

Relation between Circumference and Diameter:

1. What is the relation between circumference and diameter?


Solution:

Circumference of a circle is slightly more than three times of its diameter.
