Circle Parts on a Wooden Disc

A circle has a centre point, a radius from the centre to the edge, a diameter across through the centre, and a circumference around the edge. The diameter is twice the radius.

In the picture

  1. The centre point: the fixed point in the middle of the circle.
  2. The radius: a straight line from the centre to the edge.
  3. The diameter: a straight line across the circle through the centre.
  4. The circumference: the curved line all the way around the edge.

Examples

  • A bicycle wheel has a centre, a radius, a diameter, and a circumference.
  • A round pizza has a centre and an edge you can trace around.
