Sub-topic 7 : - Relation between radius and diameter
Introduction – If you keep two radii in a straight line, a diameter is formed. So, diameter is
twice of its radius. The radius is half of its diameter.
Radii = OA, OB
Diameter = AB (OA + OB)
To find out radius, when diameter is given.
Radius =
Example 1: find the radius of the circle, if diameter is 16 cm.
Solution: radius = = 8 cm.
Example 2: find the radius of the circle, if the diameter is 20 m.
Solution: radius = = 10 cm.
To find out diameter, when radius is given.
Diameter = 2 x Radius
Example 1 : find the diameter of the circle, if the radius is 12 cm.
Solution : diameter = 2 x radius = 2 x 12 cm = 24 cm
Example 2 : find the diameter of the circle, if the radius is 6 m.
Solution : diameter = 2 x radius = 2 x 6 m = 12 m
