the longest straight line that can be drawn to connect two point on the circumference of a circle whose radius is 9 inches is
A. 9 inches
B. 18 inches
C. 28.2743
D. 4.5 inches
is the correct answer b?
yes - the diameter of the circle
Yes, the correct answer is B) 18 inches.
To find the longest straight line that can be drawn to connect two points on the circumference of a circle, we need to find the diameter of the circle. The diameter is a straight line that passes through the center of the circle and is equal to twice the radius.
Since the radius of the circle is given as 9 inches, the diameter will be 2 times the radius, which is 2 * 9 = 18 inches.
Therefore, the longest straight line that can be drawn to connect two points on the circumference of the circle is 18 inches.
