More About radius
The word "radius" comes from a word that means "ray." It is like a line that shines out from the center. People have used it for a long time to help with shapes.
We see radius in our lives, like in wheels and round tables. It helps us know how big things are and how to draw them.
In the future, we will keep using radius in new ways. It will help us in art, math, and even in making cool things!
