The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circumference. The diameter is the distance from one side of the circle's circumference, through the center of the circle, to the opposite side.
Radius: 1 foot
Diameter: 2 feet
We want to find the radius and the diameter of the circle in the given diagram.
Let's recall the definitions of radius and diameter.
We can see in the diagram that the diameter is 2feet. According to the definitions, the radius is half the diameter. Therefore, the radius is 2÷ 2=1foot.
