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 24 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 12 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
2.A circle has a radius of 19 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 38 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
3.A circle has a diameter of 16 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 50.3 cm
- C = π × d = π × 16
- ≈ 50.3 cm
4.A circle has a diameter of 26 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 13 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
5.A circle has a diameter of 38 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 119.4 cm
- C = π × d = π × 38
- ≈ 119.4 cm
6.A circle has a radius of 20 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 125.7 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 20
- ≈ 125.7 cm
7.A circle has a diameter of 40 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1256.6 cm2
- r = 40 ÷ 2 = 20 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 202 = π × 400
- ≈ 1256.6 cm2
8.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
9.A circle has a radius of 4 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 8 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
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.
