What is a circle?

Back

A circle is a set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center.

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 circumference.

Front

What is the diameter of a circle?

Back

The diameter is twice the length of the radius and is the longest distance across the circle.
