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 10 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 62.8 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 10
- ≈ 62.8 cm
2.A circle has a diameter of 38 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 19 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
3.A circle has a radius of 4 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 8 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
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 radius of 8 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 16 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
6.A circle has a radius of 3 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.

9.A circle has a diameter of 38 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1134.1 cm2
- r = 38 ÷ 2 = 19 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 192 = π × 361
- ≈ 1134.1 cm2
10.A circle has a radius of 19 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1134.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 192 = π × 361
- ≈ 1134.1 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.
