Prerequisites
| Circle: | A circle is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a given center point. |
| Diameter: | (1) In plane geometry, the diameter is the straight-line distance between two points opposite one another across the center of a circle. (2) In solid geometry, the diameter is the straight-line distance between two antipodal points on a sphere. |
| Radius: | The radius of a circle is the distance from its center to its circumference or from the center of a sphere to its surface. The radius is equal to half the diameter. |
