OpenStudy (phi):

What is a radius ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its OB @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

OB is a radius. But what is the definition of radius ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi the radius is the distance between the center of a circle and a point on the circle.

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and the radius is the same distance, no matter which direction you go. so OA and OB are the same distance , right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (phi):

so which choice is the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi is A correct??

OpenStudy (phi):

the diameter is all the way across (= 2 times the radius) so the answer is not anything to do with the diameter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They both walk a distance equal to the radius
