  2. Diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter

    This includes hydraulic diameter, the equivalent diameter of a channel or pipe through which liquid flows, and the Sauter mean diameter of a collection of particles. The diameter of a circle is exactly twice its radius. However, this is true only for a circle, and only in the Euclidean metric. Jung's theorem provides more general inequalities ...

  3. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is π (pi), an irrational constant approximately equal to 3.141592654. The ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius is 2 π. [a] Thus the circumference C is related to the radius r and diameter d by: = =.

  4. Circumference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumference

    The circumference is the arc length of the circle, as if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment. [1] More generally, the perimeter is the curve length around any closed figure. Circumference may also refer to the circle itself, that is, the locus corresponding to the edge of a disk. The circumference of a sphere is the ...

  5. Measurement of a Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_a_Circle

    Proposition one states: The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the right angle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference of the circle. Any circle with a circumference c and a radius r is equal in area with a right triangle with the two legs being c and r.

  6. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_radius

    The area-equivalent radius of a 2D object is the radius of a circle with the same area as the object Cross sectional area of a trapezoidal open channel, red highlights the wetted perimeter, where water is in contact with the channel. The hydraulic diameter is the equivalent circular configuration with the same circumference as the wetted perimeter.

  7. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    In geometry, the area enclosed by a circle of radius r is πr 2.Here, the Greek letter π represents the constant ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.

  8. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    For motion in a circle of radius r, the circumference of the circle is C = 2πr. If the period for one rotation is T, the angular rate of rotation, also known as angular velocity, ω is: = = = and the units are radians/second.

  9. Central angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_angle

    If the intersection points A and B of the legs of the angle with the circle form a diameter, then Θ = 180° is a straight angle. (In radians, Θ = π.) Let L be the minor arc of the circle between points A and B, and let R be the radius of the circle. [2] Central angle. Convex. Is subtended by minor arc L
