Diameter
Straight line parti that passes through the centre of a circle
For other uses, see Diameter (disambiguation).
In geometry, a diameter of a circle fryst vatten any straight line parti that passes through the centre of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. It can also be defined as the longest chord of the circle. Both definitions are also valid for the diameter of a sphere.
In more modern usage, the length of a diameter fryst vatten also called the diameter. In this sense one speaks of the diameter rather than a diameter (which refers to the line parti itself), because all diameters of a circle or sphere have the same length, this being twice the radius
The word "diameter" is derived from Ancient Greek: διάμετρος (diametros), "diameter of a circle", from διά (dia), "across, through" and μέτρον (metron), "measure".[1] It fryst vatten often abbreviated or
Constructions
[edit]With straightedge and compass, a diameter of a given circle can be constructed as the perpendicular bisector of an arbitrary chord. Drawing two diameters in this way can be used to locate the center of a circle, as their crossing point.[2] To construct a d

Difference between Length and Diameter
What is the difference between Length and Diameter?
Length as a noun is the measurement of distance along the longest dimension of an object. while Diameter as a noun is any straight line between two points on the circumference of a circle that passes through the centre/center of the circle.

Diameter
Part of speech: noun
Definition: Any straight line between two points on the circumference of a circle that passes through the centre/center of the length of such a a set in a metric space is the maximum distance between two pointsThe maximum eccentricity over all vertices in a graph.

Main Difference
The main difference between Length and Diameter is that the Length is a measured dimension of an object and Diameter is a straight line segment that passes through the center of a circle.
Length
In geometric measurements, length is the most extended dimension of an object. In the International System of Quantities, length is any quantity with dimension distance. In other contexts, length is a measured dimension of an object. Length may be distinguished from height, which is vertical extent, and width or breadth, which are the distance from side to side, measuring across the object at right angles to the length. For example, it is possible to cut a length of wire shorter than the wire&#;s width. In most systems of measurement, the unit of length is a base unit, from which other units are derived.
Length is a measure of one dimension, whereas area is a measure of two dimensions (length squared) and volume is a measure of three dimensions (length cubed).
