7th Grade Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 4 — 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 6π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 3 cm; A = 9π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 6π
- r = 3 cm
- A = πr2 = 9π cm2
2.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 2 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 6.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 4
- ≈ 6.3 cm2
3.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
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.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 15 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 353.4 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 225
- ≈ 353.4 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 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
8.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
9.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
10.A circle has a diameter of 20 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 314.2 cm2
- r = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 102 = π × 100
- ≈ 314.2 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.
