Shreyanvi Dash answered
Let us analyse this question -
So , the radius of the circle - 8r
The diameter - twice the radius.
So, if radius - 8 , diameter of the circle - 8+8 =16.
Therefore, diameter - 16

Which segment is a radius?
  • a)
    LM
  • b)
    BD
  • c)
    AC
  • d)
    DC
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shreya Shah answered
From mine I think option D and C both options are correct . As in this it is written that the radius is half of the diameter and in a circle all the radii are of same length and DC is a radius but at the same time AC is also one radius.

Given:
- Diameter of the circle = 15 cm

To find:
- Radius of the circle

Solution:
- The diameter of a circle is the distance across the circle passing through the center. It is twice the length of the radius.
- Therefore, the formula to find the radius of a circle is:
Radius = Diameter / 2

Calculation:
- Given diameter = 15 cm
- Using the formula, we can find the radius:
Radius = 15 cm / 2 = 7.5 cm

Conclusion:
- The radius of the circle with a diameter of 15 cm is 7.5 cm.
- Hence, option 'C' is the correct answer.

A bicycle tire has a diameter of 27 inches. What is the radius?

  • c)
    13.5
  • d)
    54
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the radius of a bicycle tire, we need to understand the relationship between the diameter and the radius of a circle.

The Relationship between Diameter and Radius:
- The diameter of a circle is the distance across the circle passing through its center.
- The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.
- The radius is always half the length of the diameter.

Formula to Find the Radius:
- Radius = Diameter / 2

Now let's solve the problem:

Step 1: Given information
- The diameter of the bicycle tire = 27 inches

Step 2: Applying the formula
- Radius = Diameter / 2
- Radius = 27 inches / 2
- Radius = 13.5 inches

Therefore, the radius of the bicycle tire is 13.5 inches.

Explanation:
The diameter is the distance across the circle, and the radius is the distance from the center to the edge. Since the radius is always half the length of the diameter, we can divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. In this case, the diameter of the bicycle tire is 27 inches, so we divide it by 2 to find the radius. The result is 13.5 inches, which means the radius of the bicycle tire is 13.5 inches.

Thus, the correct answer is option C) 13.5.

Which segment is the diameter?
  • a)
    BD
  • b)
    CE
  • c)
    LM
  • d)
    AC
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

A diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle.
Hence, BD is the diameter in the image shown.

What is the circumference of the given circle?
  • a)
    π/4 cm
  • b)
    4π cm
  • c)
    π/2 cm
  • d)
    2π cm
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Circumference of a circle whose radius is r is given by 2 π r
Here d= 4 cm 
Hence, r is 2 cm
Circumference of the circle = 2 π (2)
Circumference of the circle = 4 π cm

What is the radius if the diameter is 12 m ?
  • a)
    4 m
  • b)
    6 m
  • c)
    48 m
  • d)
    24 m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question Analysis:
The question asks for the radius of a circle when the diameter is given. To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the diameter and the radius of a circle.

Concept Explanation:
- The diameter of a circle is a straight line that passes through the center of the circle and connects two points on the circumference.
- The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference.
- The diameter is always twice the length of the radius.
- We can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.

Solution:
Given: Diameter = 12 m

We can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.
- Divide the diameter by 2: 12 m ÷ 2 = 6 m

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 6 m.

Verification:
To verify the answer, we can use the relationship between the diameter and the radius.
- Multiply the radius by 2: 6 m × 2 = 12 m

We can see that the calculated diameter is equal to the given diameter of 12 m. This confirms that the answer is correct.

Summary:
The radius of a circle with a diameter of 12 m is 6 m.

Ruchi Basu answered
The Answer:
The correct answer is option 'A', diameter.

Explanation:
A circle is a closed curve that is formed by a set of points that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center.

Diameter:
- The diameter of a circle is a special chord that passes through the center of the circle.
- It is defined as a line segment that connects any two points on the circle and passes through the center.
- The diameter is the longest chord in a circle, and it divides the circle into two equal halves called semicircles.
- The diameter is twice the length of the radius of the circle.

Radius:
- The radius of a circle is a line segment that connects the center of the circle to any point on the circle.
- The radius is always half the length of the diameter.
- It is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference (outer edge) of the circle.

Circumference:
- The circumference of a circle is the distance around the outer edge of the circle.
- It is the perimeter or the boundary of the circle.
- The circumference is calculated using the formula C = 2πr, where "C" represents the circumference and "r" represents the radius of the circle.

Conclusion:
In this question, the special chord that passes through the center of a circle is called the diameter. The diameter is different from the radius and the circumference of a circle.

Aditi Sharma answered
Circumference of a circle whose radius is r is given by 2 π r
Here r=7 cm 
Hence,
Circumference of the circle = 2 π (7)

Is the black line a radius or diameter of the circle?
  • a)
    Radius
  • b)
    Diameter
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

The radius is half the length of the diameter and is joined to the centre at one end. Hence, it is the radius of the circle.
  • 7 cm
  • The radius of a circle is half its diameter. Here, radius = 14 divided by 2 = 7 cm.
