Show your working. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.A circle has a radius of 4 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 25.1 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 4
- ≈ 25.1 cm
2.A circle has a radius of 17 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 106.8 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 17
- ≈ 106.8 cm
3.A circle has a radius of 7 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 44.0 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 7
- ≈ 44.0 cm
4.A circle has a radius of 11 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 380.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 112 = π × 121
- ≈ 380.1 cm2
5.A circle has a diameter of 32 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 804.2 cm2
- r = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 cm

- ≈ 100.5 cm
10.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
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.
