In classical geometry, the radius of a circle or sphere is the length of a line segment from its center to its perimeter. The name comes from Latin radius, meaning "ray" but also the spoke of a chariot wheel. The plural of radius can be either radii (from the Latin plural) or the conventional English plural radiuses.

Formula: Diameter: d = 2. Now divide answer by 2 to get radii.

is it 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d= 2r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C= rd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21

(x - x0)2 + (y - y0)2 = r2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x0, y0) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. So you can substitute in (2, 5) for the center (x0, y0) and you will get an equation involving x, y and r.

so ok i did it so it squared root of 29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's sqrt of 29
