\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you know the measure of the diameter, you simply divide by 2 to get the measure of the radius. Knowing the endpoints of a segment allows you to find the measure of the segment by use of the distance formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where and are the coordinates of the given points. In this case, the endpoints of your diameter. Just plug in the values and do the arithmetic.\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But you can solve this formula for and then use it to find the radius when you know the circumference. Just divide both sides by \r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Again, just plug in the numbers you know and do the arithmetic.\r
