Well, the hypothesis is radius = 2m. The conclusion is diameter 4 because, by definition, the diameter is twice the radius.

The concepts of hypothesis and conclusion are not appropriate for a mathematical exercise which just involves a simple computation. They are appropriate for hypotheses such as:
- It is possible to color a map on a planar surface using just four colors.
- There is no solution in integers which satisfies x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n greater than 2.
These hypotheses have now been proved, so one can have a conclusion that they are true as the end line of a proof. The concepts of hypothesis and conclusion are more appropriate in science rather than mathematics.
