Let's solve this step by step.
We are given a circle with three labeled parts (indicated by arrows), and we need to match the correct terms —
circumference,
radius, and
diameter — to each part.
Step 1: Understand the definitions
-
Radius: The distance from the center of the circle to any point on the edge. It is usually shown as a line from the center to the circumference.
-
Diameter: A straight line that passes through the center of the circle and connects two points on the edge. It is twice the length of the radius.
-
Circumference: The total distance around the edge of the circle (the perimeter).
Step 2: Analyze the diagram
Looking at the image:
1.
Green line (from center to edge): This is a
radius because it goes from the center of the circle to the edge.
2.
Red line (horizontal, passing through the center): This goes from one side of the circle to the other, passing through the center — so this is the
diameter.
3.
Black arrow pointing to the outer edge: This points to the curved boundary of the circle — that is the
circumference.
Step 3: Match the labels
Now assign the words:
- The
green line →
radius
- The
red line →
diameter
- The
black arrow pointing to the edge →
circumference
Final Answer:
- Top left box (pointing to green line) →
radius
- Bottom center box (pointing to red line) →
diameter
- Bottom right box (pointing to edge) →
circumference
✔ So the correct labeling is:
-
radius for the green line
-
diameter for the red line
-
circumference for the curved edge
This matches the standard parts of a circle.
