English term or phrase: round
Dear all,

How can we translate "round" in:

"She was hit by an object about one inch round"

I got that "round" is used to show the length of a line surrounding something:

Can we say محيط ? I haven't found محيط In any E A dic., though.

Thanks.

agree  HassanLotfy: مع عدم الإتفاق فى أن وحدة البوصة تكون لقياس القطر عادة، فهى وحدة قياس أطوال إنجليزية قديمة ولكنها مازالت مستخدمة فى أمريكا

  -> شكرًا لك أخي حسن، صحيح ولذلك قلت عادة، من سياق الكلام نستنتج أنه القطر وليس المحيط لأن الكلام تقديري ومن الأسهل تقدير القطر
