Question

question 2 of 44
which of the following best describes the distance around a circle?
a. radius
b. chord
c. circumference
d. diameter

Explanation:

• Option A: Radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on its edge, not the distance around the circle.
• Option B: A chord is a line segment connecting two points on a circle, not related to the distance around it.
• Option C: Circumference is defined as the distance around a circle, which matches the description in the question.
• Option D: Diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle, measuring the distance across the circle, not around it.

Answer:

C. Circumference
