A pair of compasses is set to a width of 2 cm and
used to draw a circle.
What is the diameter of the circle?



Answer :

Sure! Let's find the diameter of the circle given the radius.

1. Understanding the problem:
- We are given a radius for a circle, which is 2 cm.
- We need to find the diameter of this circle.

2. Recall the relationship between the radius and the diameter:
- The diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius.
- The formula is:
[tex]\[ \text{Diameter} = 2 \times \text{Radius} \][/tex]

3. Substitute the given radius into the formula:
- Here, the radius is 2 cm.
[tex]\[ \text{Diameter} = 2 \times 2 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the diameter:
[tex]\[ \text{Diameter} = 4 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]

Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 4 cm.
