Which figure shows the radius of a circle?
It is a straight line connecting the center of the circle to a point located on the circle itself.
Therefore, the diagram that fits the definition is c.
In diagram a, the line does not pass through the center, and in diagram b, it is a diameter.
There are only 4 radii in a circle.
Look for the center point (usually marked with a dot). The radius is the line that starts exactly at this center and goes to any point on the circle's edge.
A radius goes from center to edge (half-way across), while a diameter goes completely across the circle through the center (full width).
Yes! Every circle has infinite possible radii - you can draw a line from the center to any point on the circle's edge. They're all the same length though!
That's called a chord - it connects two points on the circle but doesn't involve the center. Only lines from center to edge qualify as radii.
No! A radius can point in any direction from the center. It can be diagonal, slanted, or at any angle - as long as it connects center to circumference.
