Show your work. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.A circle has a diameter of 12 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 37.7 cm
- C = π × d = π × 12
- ≈ 37.7 cm
2.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
3.A circle has a radius of 18 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1017.9 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 182 = π × 324
- ≈ 1017.9 cm2
4.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
5.A circle has a radius of 10 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 314.2 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 102 = π × 100
- ≈ 314.2 cm2
6.A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 5 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
7.A circle has a radius of 14 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 88.0 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 14
- ≈ 88.0 cm
8.A circle has a radius of 11 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 22 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
9.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
10.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
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.
