Year 10 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.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 20 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 628.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 400
- ≈ 628.3 cm2
2.A circle has a diameter of 14 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 153.9 cm2
- r = 14 ÷ 2 = 7 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 72 = π × 49
- ≈ 153.9 cm2
3.A circle has a circumference of 12π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 6 cm; A = 36π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 12π
- r = 6 cm
- A = πr2 = 36π cm2
4.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
5.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
6.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 17 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 454.0 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 289
- ≈ 454.0 cm2
7.A circle has a radius of 9 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 254.5 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 92 = π × 81
- ≈ 254.5 cm2
8.A circle has a radius of 15 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 706.9 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 152 = π × 225
- ≈ 706.9 cm2
9.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 11 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 190.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 121
- ≈ 190.1 cm2
10.A circle has a diameter of 16 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 201.1 cm2
- r = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 cm
- 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.
