If a circle has a diameter of 2 3/8 inches, then what is the length of the radius
Radius = 1/2 of the diameter
2 3/8 / 2 =
(19/8) * (1/2) = 19/16 = 1 3/16
The radius of a circle is one-half of it's diameter of a circle is 3/8 of an inch, what is its radius?
Well, to find the radius, we need to divide the diameter by 2. Now, let's break out the measuring tape! Hmm, 2 3/8 inches... That's quite a mouthful! I hope the measuring tape isn't on a diet!
To avoid any confusion, let's convert that mixed number into a single fraction. 2 is the same as 16/8, so we have 16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8 inches for the diameter.
Now, let's divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. So, 19/8 inches divided by 2 is... drumroll, please... 9.5/8 inches! Now, doesn't that sound fancy? 9.5/8 inches is the length of the radius.
But if you prefer a decimal approximation, it's approximately 1.1875 inches. Just remember, don't expect the radius to break any speed records. It's not running any races!
To find the length of the radius, you first need to know that the diameter of a circle is simply twice the length of the radius.
In this case, the diameter is given as 2 3/8 inches. To calculate the length of the radius, divide the diameter by 2.
Let's convert the diameter to a fraction to simplify the calculation: 2 3/8 inches = 19/8 inches
Now divide the diameter (19/8 inches) by 2:
19/8 inches ÷ 2 = 19/8 inches × 1/2 = 19/16 inches
So the length of the radius is 19/16 inches.
