Diameter vs. Perimeter
Diameternoun
(geometry) Any straight line between two points on the circumference of a circle that passes through the centre/center of the circle.
Diameternoun
(geometry) The length of such a line.
Diameternoun
(geometry) The maximum distance between any two points in a metric space
Diameternoun
(graph theory) The maximum eccentricity over all vertices in a graph.
Diameternoun
Any right line passing through the center of a figure or body, as a circle, conic section, sphere, cube, etc., and terminated by the opposite boundaries; a straight line which bisects a system of parallel chords drawn in a curve.
Diameternoun
The length of a straight line through the center of an object from side to side; width; thickness; as, the diameter of a tree or rock.
Diameternoun
The distance through the lower part of the shaft of a column, used as a standard measure for all parts of the order. See Module.
Diameternoun
the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle and connecting two points on the circumference
Diameternoun
a straight line connecting the center of a circle with two points on its perimeter (or the center of a sphere with two points on its surface)
Diameter
In geometry, a diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. It can also be defined as the longest chord of the circle.
Perimeternoun
(mathematics) The sum of the distance of all the lengths of the sides of an object.
Perimeternoun
(mathematics) The length of such a boundary.
Perimeternoun
The outer limits of an area. circumference
Perimeternoun
A fortified strip or boundary usually protecting a military position.
Perimeternoun
An instrument for determining the extent and shape of the field of vision.
Perimeternoun
The outer boundary of a body or figure, or the sum of all the sides.
Perimeternoun
An instrument for determining the extent and shape of the field of vision.
Perimeternoun
the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary
Perimeternoun
a line enclosing a plane areas
Perimeternoun
the size of something as given by the distance around it
Perimeternoun
the continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometrical figure
Perimeternoun
the outermost parts or boundary of an area or object
Perimeternoun
an area away from the basket, beyond the reach of the defensive team
Perimeternoun
an instrument for measuring the extent and characteristics of a person's field of vision.
Perimeter
A perimeter is either a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape (in two dimensions) or its length (one-dimensional). The perimeter of a circle or an ellipse is called its circumference.
