Circle Length Problem
Problem: Find the radius of a circle with 10 cm circumference.
Given: Circumference (c) = 10 cm
Solution
Formula: r = c/(2π)
Substitute: r = 10 cm / (2π)
Calculate: r = 10 / (2 × 3.14159) = 1.5915 cm
Diameter: d = 2r = 2 × 1.5915 = 3.1831 cm
Circle Length Relationships
Radius
Half the diameter
r = d/2 = c/(2π)
Diameter
Twice the radius
d = 2r = c/π
Circumference
Perimeter of circle
c = 2πr = πd
Half Circle
Semicircle perimeter
c_half = πr = πd/2

Understanding Circle Length Relationships
What is Circle Length?
Circle length typically refers to the circumference - the distance around the perimeter of a circle. It's directly related to the radius and diameter through the fundamental relationship involving π (pi).
Key Measurements
- •Radius (r): Distance from center to any point on the circle
- •Diameter (d): Distance across the circle through the center
- •Circumference (c): Distance around the circle's perimeter
- •Half Circle: Semicircle perimeter length
