Show your working. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.A circle has a diameter of 26 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 530.9 cm2
- r = 26 ÷ 2 = 13 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 132 = π × 169
- ≈ 530.9 cm2
2.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 2 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 6.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 4
- ≈ 6.3 cm2
3.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 16 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 402.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 256
- ≈ 402.1 cm2
4.A circle has a diameter of 34 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 106.8 cm
- C = π × d = π × 34
- ≈ 106.8 cm
5.A circle has a diameter of 28 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 615.8 cm2
- r = 28 ÷ 2 = 14 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 142 = π × 196
- ≈ 615.8 cm2
6.A circle has a diameter of 22 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 380.1 cm2
- r = 22 ÷ 2 = 11 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 112 = π × 121
- ≈ 380.1 cm2
7.A circle has a radius of 5 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 31.4 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 5
- ≈ 31.4 cm
8.A circle has a radius of 12 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 75.4 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 12
- ≈ 75.4 cm
9.A circle has a diameter of 8 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 25.1 cm
- C = π × d = π × 8
- ≈ 25.1 cm
10.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 3 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 14.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 9
- ≈ 14.1 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.
