자주 혼동되는 단어
The diameter is the full length across a circle through the center, while the radius is only half that distance.
The circumference is the total distance around the outside of the circle, not the distance from the center.
사용 참고사항
The word is most commonly used in math and science, but it is also frequently used in daily life to describe how far away things are from a central location.
자주 하는 실수

oxygen
A1A gas with no color, taste, or smell that is necessary for all human and animal life. It makes up about 21 percent of the Earth's atmosphere and is essential for the process of breathing.
hydrogen
A1Hydrogen is a chemical element that is the lightest and most common gas in the universe. It has no color or smell and combines with oxygen to make water (H2O).
nitrogen
A1Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless gas that makes up most of the Earth's atmosphere. It is a chemical element that is essential for all living things to grow, especially plants.
polymer
A1A polymer is a large molecule made of many smaller units that are connected in a long chain. These materials can be natural, like rubber or wood, or synthetic, like plastic and nylon.
prime number
A1A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that cannot be made by multiplying other whole numbers. It can only be divided evenly by itself and the number 1.
ratio
A1A ratio is a way to compare two amounts of things. It shows how much of one thing there is compared to another thing, like 2 parts water to 1 part juice.
perimeter
A1The perimeter is the total distance around the outside edge of a shape or an area. In math and science, it is found by adding the lengths of all the sides of an object.
diameter
A1The diameter is the length of a straight line that goes through the center of a circle or a round object, connecting two points on its edge. It is the measurement that tells you how wide a circle or sphere is at its widest point.
circumference
A1The circumference is the distance around the outside edge of a circle or a round object. It is a measurement that tells you how long the boundary of a round shape is.
perpendicular
A1A perpendicular is a line that meets or crosses another line at a 90-degree angle. It is used in science and math to describe two lines that are perfectly square to each other.
