I think #2 is Diameter. Anyone else???

 

[jdads2]

I guess I would also go with diameter. Poorly worded question. Must be the same folks that make up the DMV tests.

DIAMETER. If you draw a circle and then a line that begins and ends on the circle and passes directly through the center point, that's the diameter of the circle.

Thanks, Mal and Tantor!

I grabbed the dictionary next to me and looked it up. The definition is:
A straight line sement passing through the center of a figure, esp. of a circle or sphere, and terminating at the periphery.

And you ask what the heck is a periphery, it is a line that forms the boundary of an area; a perimeter.

Ok so that is enough of me being smart with a dictionary, I'm going with diameter!

I di not get the full question as you can see so I did not know what the rest of it said.

I think most people went with Diameter


except me LOL

I went with radius


Darn, oh well!

I just checked on the rewards programs discussion doard on another program (CR). The poster there gave diameter as the answer. I'm not sure where they found it, but sounds good to me.

Thanks for posting.

 

[Maleficent2]

I did too.

The question did seem incomplete to me too, but at least there was enough information to try to figure it out.
