What is the radius of a cylinder with a diameter of 16 units?

Question

1. 32 units
2. 8 units
3. 4 units
4. 16 units

Answer 1

The radius of a cylinder is half of its diameter. Given that the diameter is 16 units, the radius can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Radius} = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{16 \text{ units}}{2} = 8 \text{ units} \]

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is 8 units. The correct answer is:

2. 8 units
