Q: What does mathematicians use to represent the length of a circle's radius?


A: Mathematicians use the letter r for the length of a circle's radius.

Q: What is written as O in circles?

Q: How long is the diameter of a circle?


A: The diameter (meaning "all the way across") of a circle is a straight line that goes from one side to the opposite and right through the center of the circle. It is equal to twice its radius (d equals 2 times r).

Q: What letter do mathematicians use to represent circumference?


A: Mathematicians use C for circumference, which means "all around".

Q: How can we calculate area inside a circle?


A: The area, A, inside a circle can be calculated by multiplying its radius by itself and then multiplied by π (A equals π times r times r).
