radius
A term used in prescribing limits of distance or area. Sacks v Legg, 219 Ill App 144. A term used in prescribing the efficacy of automobile lights. Anno; 11 ALR2d 1424. A straight line extending from the center of a circle or sphere to its circumference or surface. Mead v Anton, 33 Wash 2d 741, 207 112d 227, 10 ALR2d 588; Anno: 29 ALR2d 517. In construing the word "radius" as contained in a restrictive covenant against competition within a radius of a designated distance from a restaurant sold to the covenantees, the ordinary meaning of the term, namely, a right line extending from the center of a circle to the curve thereof, will be applied, to the exclusion of a suggested meaning that the specified distance should be measured along existing streets and sidewalks. Mead v Anton, 33 Wash 2d 741, 207 P2d 227, 10 ALR2d 588. For meaning of term "radius" as employed in contract, statute, or ordinance as descriptive of area, location or distance, see Anno: 10 ALR2d 589.
