Question

the blue segment below is a diameter of \\(\odot o\\). what is the length of the radius of the circle? a. 2.95 units b. 8.85 units c. 5.9 units d. 11.8 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall radius-diameter relationship

The radius $r$ of a circle is half its diameter $d$, so $r=\frac{d}{2}$.

Step2: Substitute given diameter value

The diameter $d=5.9$, so $r=\frac{5.9}{2}$

Step3: Calculate the radius

$r=2.95$

Answer:

A. 2.95 units
