Question

Which statement best describes a radius of a circle?

It is a segment that connects two distinct points on the secant of the circle.
It is a line that intersects the circle at exactly two points on the diameter.
It is a line that touches two points on the circle.
It is a segment from a point on the circle to the center of the circle.

Answer 1

Hi!

We know that a radius is a line that reaches from point A (the middle of a circle) to point B (the outer part of the circle).

Based on that information, the sentence that describes the radius the best is It is a segment from a point on the circle to the center of the circle.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer: It is a segment from a point on the circle to the center of the circle.

Explanation:

We know that the diameter is a line segment which start from one point on circle to end another point on circle which passes through the center of circle.

The radius is half the length of diameter of circle.

It is a line segment which starts from center to any point on the circle.

Hence, It is a segment from a point on the circle to the center of the circle.
