Year 6 Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 3 — Answers

Show your working. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.

1.A circle has a circumference of 18π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).

Answer: r = 9 cm; A = 81π cm2

  1. C = 2πr, so 2πr = 18π
  2. r = 9 cm
  3. A = πr2 = 81π cm2
2.A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 78.5 cm2

  1. r = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 cm
  2. A = π × r2 = π × 52 = π × 25
  3. ≈ 78.5 cm2
3.A circle has a radius of 17 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 907.9 cm2

  1. A = π × r2 = π × 172 = π × 289
  2. ≈ 907.9 cm2
4.A circle has a circumference of 6π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).

Answer: r = 3 cm; A = 9π cm2

  1. C = 2πr, so 2πr = 6π
  2. r = 3 cm
  3. A = πr2 = 9π cm2
5.A circle has a circumference of 22π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).

Answer: r = 11 cm; A = 121π cm2

  1. C = 2πr, so 2πr = 22π
  2. r = 11 cm
  3. A = πr2 = 121π cm2
6.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 11 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 190.1 cm2

  1. A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 121
  2. ≈ 190.1 cm2
7.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 19 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 567.1 cm2

  1. A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 361
  2. ≈ 567.1 cm2
8.A circle has a radius of 11 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 380.1 cm2

  1. A = π × r2 = π × 112 = π × 121
  2. ≈ 380.1 cm2
9.A circle has a diameter of 32 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 804.2 cm2

  1. r = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 cm
  2. A = π × r2 = π × 162 = π × 256
  3. ≈ 804.2 cm2
10.A circle has a radius of 7 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer: 153.9 cm2

  1. A = π × r2 = π × 72 = π × 49
  2. ≈ 153.9 cm2

Marking tips

  • Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
  • For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
  • Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
