If the diameter of a circle is half of a yard, then its radius is how many inches?

Asked by ethan2

Answer (3)

First of all we need to realize that half of a yard is as much as 18 inches. If a diameter of the circle is 18 inches, then its radius is 18 ÷ 2 = 9 inches.

The **measures **of the **diameter **and the radius , are illustrations of unit conversions
The **radius **of the **circle **is 9 inches
The diameter (d) is given as:
d = 2 1 ​ yard
Multiply by 36 to convert the **unit **from **yard **to inches
d = 36 × 2 1 ​ inches
d = 18 inches
Divide both sides by 2, to get the radius
r = 2 d ​ = 2 18 ​ inches
r = 9 inches
Hence, the **radius **of the **circle **is 9 inches
