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 28 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 615.8 cm2
- r = 28 ÷ 2 = 14 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 142 = π × 196
- ≈ 615.8 cm2
2.A circle has a diameter of 6 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 28.3 cm2
- r = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 32 = π × 9
- ≈ 28.3 cm2
3.A circle has a radius of 18 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 36 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
4.A circle has a diameter of 18 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 56.5 cm
- C = π × d = π × 18
- ≈ 56.5 cm
5.A circle has a diameter of 14 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 7 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
6.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
7.A circle has a diameter of 22 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 69.1 cm
- C = π × d = π × 22
- ≈ 69.1 cm
8.A circle has a diameter of 30 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 94.2 cm
- C = π × d = π × 30
- ≈ 94.2 cm
9.A circle has a diameter of 20 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 62.8 cm
- C = π × d = π × 20
- ≈ 62.8 cm
10.A circle has a radius of 3 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 18.8 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 3
- ≈ 18.8 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.
