What is the Radius of a Circle?

You all may be familiar with a circle, a well-known and widely used geometrical figure.

“The distance from the center of a circle to any of its points on the circumference is known as the radius”  

How to Find the Radius of a Circle?

In geometry, a circle is defined by many related entities. And if you are willing to find its radius given different parameters, then these include:

Radius of a Circle Formula:

From Diameter:

As we know that:

\(Diameter=D=2*r\)

or

\(r=\dfrac{D}{2}\)

From Area:

You know that:

\(Area=A=?r^{2}\)

or

\(r^{2}=\dfrac{A}{?}\)

From Circumference:

As you know that:

\(C=2*?*r\)

or

\(r=\dfrac{C}{2?}\)

From Area and Central Angle of a Sector:

You know that:

\(A=\dfrac{\theta}{360^\text{o}}*?*r^{2}\)

or

\(r=sqrt{\dfrac{A*360^\text{o}}{\theta*?}}\)

Example:

Let us resolve an example that may help you in finding radius of a circle:

Statement:

What’s the radius of a circle having area as \(78m^{2}\)?

Solution:

\(r^{2}=\dfrac{A}{?}\)

\(r^{2}=\dfrac{78}{3.14}\)

\(r^{2}=24.840\)

\(r=\sqrt{24.840}\)

\(r=4.983\)
