What is diameter?

The diameter of a circle is the distance from edge to edge passing through its center. It's twice the length of the radius.

Dimensions of a circle: O - origin, R - radius, D - diameter, C - circumference (Wikimedia)

Circle formulas

Given the diameter, you can find all other circle dimensions:

r = d / 2
c = \pi d
a = \pi (d/2)^2
