Diameter can be defined as a distance that is measured across a Circle through its mid Point or its center. Diameter of a ball is length of line passing through the center and touches two points on its surface. Diameter is the longest Chord. Now we will understand how to measure Diameter of a ball.
Shape of ball is similar to Sphere. Diameter is always double of a radius. Mathematically it can be written as:
Diameter = 2R, here value of ‘R’ represents ball.
Let’s understand some steps to find diameter of ball.
Step 1: We need radius value to find diameter of ball. Suppose we are given radius of ball as 6 inch, and we have to find diameter of ball.
Step 2: Formula to find the diameter of a ball is given as:
Diameter = 2R, given radius = 6 inch.
Put value of radius in given formula to find diameter of ball. So we can write it as:
Diameter = 2 * 6,
Diameter = 12 inch.
After solving we get diameter of a ball as 12 inch. According to definition it is twice the radius of ball. In this way we can find diameter of ball.
For example: If radius of ball is 4.9 inch, then diameter of ball can be calculated as shown below.
Solution: Given radius = 4.9 inch.
Diameter = 2R, put value of radius in given formula. On putting value we get:
Diameter = 2 * 4.9,
Diameter = 9.8 inch.
So we get diameter of ball equals to 9.8 inch.
