7th Grade Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 3 — Answers
Show your work. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 10 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 157.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 100
- ≈ 157.1 cm2
2.A circle has a circumference of 22π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 11 cm; A = 121π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 22π
- r = 11 cm
- A = πr2 = 121π cm2
3.A circle has a diameter of 34 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 907.9 cm2
- r = 34 ÷ 2 = 17 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 172 = π × 289
- ≈ 907.9 cm2
4.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 13 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 265.5 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 169
- ≈ 265.5 cm2
5.A circle has a radius of 11 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 380.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 112 = π × 121
- ≈ 380.1 cm2
6.A circle has a circumference of 12π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 6 cm; A = 36π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 12π
- r = 6 cm
- A = πr2 = 36π cm2
7.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 7 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 77.0 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 49
- ≈ 77.0 cm2
8.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 6 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 56.5 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 36
- ≈ 56.5 cm2
9.A circle has a circumference of 36π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 18 cm; A = 324π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 36π
- r = 18 cm
- A = πr2 = 324π cm2
10.A circle has a radius of 5 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 78.5 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 52 = π × 25
- ≈ 78.5 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.
