7th Grade Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 2 — Answers
Show your work. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.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
2.A circle has a circumference of 4π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 2 cm; A = 4π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 4π
- r = 2 cm
- A = πr2 = 4π cm2
3.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 20 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 628.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 400
- ≈ 628.3 cm2
4.A circle has a circumference of 26π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 13 cm; A = 169π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 26π
- r = 13 cm
- A = πr2 = 169π cm2
5.A circle has a radius of 6 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 113.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 62 = π × 36
- ≈ 113.1 cm2
6.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 16 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 402.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 256
- ≈ 402.1 cm2
7.A circle has a circumference of 24π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 12 cm; A = 144π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 24π
- r = 12 cm
- A = πr2 = 144π cm2
8.A circle has a radius of 3 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 28.3 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 32 = π × 9
- ≈ 28.3 cm2
9.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
10.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
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.
