8th Grade Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 1 — 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 radius of 15 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 706.9 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 152 = π × 225
- ≈ 706.9 cm2
2.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 12.6 cm2
- r = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 22 = π × 4
- ≈ 12.6 cm2
3.A circle has a radius of 2 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 4 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
4.A circle has a radius of 13 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 81.7 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 13
- ≈ 81.7 cm
5.A circle has a diameter of 40 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 20 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
6.A circle has a diameter of 18 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 254.5 cm2
- r = 18 ÷ 2 = 9 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 92 = π × 81
- ≈ 254.5 cm2
7.A circle has a radius of 11 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 69.1 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 11
- ≈ 69.1 cm
8.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
9.A circle has a diameter of 16 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 8 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
10.A circle has a radius of 14 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 28 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
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.
