the best answer will get 10 points

What is name name for the distance from the center to the edge of a circle?
The correct answer is RADIUS.





Radius is measured from the center of the circle until its edge.





Diameter is measured from an edge to another edge on the circle. Thus, if you double the radius, you'll get the diameter.





Circumference is the distance around a circle.
Reply:The easiest question ever.


The distance from the center to the edge of a circle is called the radius


Circle, in geometry, a two-dimensional curve such that each point on the curve is the same distance from a fixed point, called the center. The term circle may also be applied to the region enclosed by this curve.


Any line that cuts through a circle, intersecting it at two points, is called a secant. The part of a secant within a circle is called a chord. If a chord passes through the center of a circle, it is called a diameter. The diameter is the longest possible chord for any given circle. Half a diameter, or the distance from the center of a circle to its edge, is a radius. The term radius can be used to indicate the distance, rather than an actual line, from the center to the circumference
Reply:From the center the the edge is the radius and from edge to edge is the diameter and around the whole thing in the circumference.
