Question

1. the distance from the center to any point on the circles edge is called the:

a. diameter
b. radius
c. circumference
d. arc

Explanation:

• Diameter: The diameter is the distance across the circle through the center, so option a is incorrect.
• Radius: By definition, the radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on its edge.
• Circumference: The circumference is the total length around the circle, not the distance from the center to the edge. So option c is wrong.
• Arc: An arc is a part of the circumference of a circle. So option d is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Radius
