Understanding the Radius of a Circle
2019-03-20 03:05
This GeoGebra math applet demonstrates the concept of a circle's radius. By constructing the center, circle, points, lines, and segments, it visually illustrates that the distance from the center to any point on the circumference is the radius. Ideal for beginners to grasp the basic properties and components of circles in plane geometry.
