Math Problem Statement
a segment that joins the center of the circle to any point on the circle
Solution
A segment that joins the center of a circle to any point on the circle is called a radius.
Key Points about the Radius:
- The radius is constant for all points on the circle.
- The length of the radius is half the diameter of the circle.
- It is a crucial part of the formula for calculating the area () and circumference () of the circle.
