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 3 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 28.3 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 32 = π × 9
- ≈ 28.3 cm2
2.A circle has a radius of 17 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 106.8 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 17
- ≈ 106.8 cm
3.A circle has a radius of 14 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 615.8 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 142 = π × 196
- ≈ 615.8 cm2
4.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

Answer: 37.7 cm
- C = π × d = π × 12
- ≈ 37.7 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.
