You can set the circle diameter next, so don’t worry about getting this just right now.
Press D to enter Dimension mode - Press d on the keyboard to enter dimension mode. You can use this to set the dimension of a line, diameter of a circle or distance between two points.

Set the Dimension - Click on the blue circle and type 44 to set the diameter of the circle to 44mm. The circle will turn black once the dimension is set; this incidates the sketch is fully defined, locked into place, and cannot float about the canvas.

Breaking lines You can break a line into pieces using the break function, from the MODIFY menu. Break will split the line into pieces wherever it touches another line or piece of geometry. We can use this to keep the geometry, but make different pieces either regular lines or a construction lines.
