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 5 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 39.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 25
- ≈ 39.3 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 7 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 44.0 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 7
- ≈ 44.0 cm
4.A circle has a radius of 9 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 56.5 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 9
- ≈ 56.5 cm
5.A circle has a radius of 5 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 78.5 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 52 = π × 25
- ≈ 78.5 cm2
6.A circle has a diameter of 24 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 452.4 cm2
- r = 24 ÷ 2 = 12 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 122 = π × 144
- ≈ 452.4 cm2
7.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 20 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 628.3 cm2

- ≈ 100.5 cm2
10.A circle has a diameter of 38 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1134.1 cm2
- r = 38 ÷ 2 = 19 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 192 = π × 361
- ≈ 1134.1 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.
