Year 7 Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 1 — 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 diameter of 8 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 50.3 cm2
- r = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 42 = π × 16
- ≈ 50.3 cm2
2.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
3.A circle has a radius of 4 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 25.1 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 4
- ≈ 25.1 cm
4.A circle has a diameter of 32 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 804.2 cm2
- r = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 162 = π × 256
- ≈ 804.2 cm2
5.A circle has a diameter of 32 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 16 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
6.A circle has a radius of 19 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 38 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
7.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 12.6 cm
- C = π × d = π × 4
- ≈ 12.6 cm
8.A circle has a radius of 15 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 30 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
9.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 12.6 cm2
- r = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 22 = π × 4
- ≈ 12.6 cm2
10.A circle has a radius of 13 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 81.7 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 13
- ≈ 81.7 cm
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.
