Year 7 Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 2 — Answers
Show your working. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.A circle has a circumference of 30π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 15 cm; A = 225π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 30π
- r = 15 cm
- A = πr2 = 225π cm2
2.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
3.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 9 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 127.2 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 81
- ≈ 127.2 cm2
4.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 19 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 567.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 361
- ≈ 567.1 cm2
5.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 4 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 25.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 16
- ≈ 25.1 cm2
6.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
7.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
8.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
9.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 18 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 508.9 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 324
- ≈ 508.9 cm2
10.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 15 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 353.4 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 225
- ≈ 353.4 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.
