9th 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 13 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 26 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
2.A circle has a radius of 15 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 30 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
3.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
4.A circle has a diameter of 22 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 380.1 cm2
- r = 22 ÷ 2 = 11 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 112 = π × 121
- ≈ 380.1 cm2
5.A circle has a radius of 9 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 18 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
6.A circle has a diameter of 36 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1017.9 cm2
- r = 36 ÷ 2 = 18 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 182 = π × 324
- ≈ 1017.9 cm2
7.A circle has a radius of 8 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 50.3 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 8
- ≈ 50.3 cm
8.A circle has a diameter of 16 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 201.1 cm2
- r = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 82 = π × 64
- ≈ 201.1 cm2
9.A circle has a diameter of 22 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 11 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
10.A circle has a radius of 7 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 44.0 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 7
- ≈ 44.0 cm
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.
