Year 7 Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 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 38π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 19 cm; A = 361π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 38π
- r = 19 cm
- A = πr2 = 361π cm2
2.A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 78.5 cm2
- r = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 52 = π × 25
- ≈ 78.5 cm2
3.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 5 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 39.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 25
- ≈ 39.3 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
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 6π
- r = 3 cm
- A = πr2 = 9π cm2
5.A circle has a radius of 8 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 201.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 82 = π × 64
- ≈ 201.1 cm2
6.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
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 18π
- r = 9 cm
- A = πr2 = 81π cm2
7.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 15 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 353.4 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 225
- ≈ 353.4 cm2
8.A circle has a circumference of 4π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 2 cm; A = 4π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 4π
- r = 2 cm
- A = πr2 = 4π cm2
9.A circle has a radius of 6 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 113.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 62 = π × 36
- ≈ 113.1 cm2
10.A circle has a radius of 13 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 530.9 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 132 = π × 169
- ≈ 530.9 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.
