9th 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 16 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 402.1 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 256
- ≈ 402.1 cm2
2.A circle has a diameter of 30 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 706.9 cm2
- r = 30 ÷ 2 = 15 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 152 = π × 225
- ≈ 706.9 cm2
3.A circle has a circumference of 38π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 19 cm; A = 361π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 38π
- r = 19 cm
- A = πr2 = 361π cm2
4.A circle has a radius of 17 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 907.9 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 172 = π × 289
- ≈ 907.9 cm2
5.A circle has a radius of 8 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 201.1 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 82 = π × 64
- ≈ 201.1 cm2
6.A circle has a circumference of 34π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 17 cm; A = 289π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 34π
- r = 17 cm
- A = πr2 = 289π cm2
7.A circle has a circumference of 32π cm. Find its radius and its area (leave the area in terms of π).
Answer: r = 16 cm; A = 256π cm2
- C = 2πr, so 2πr = 32π
- r = 16 cm
- A = πr2 = 256π cm2
8.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
9.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
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.
