9th Grade Circumference and Area of Circles Worksheet — Level 2 — 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 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
2.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
3.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
4.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
5.A circle has a diameter of 40 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 1256.6 cm2
- r = 40 ÷ 2 = 20 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 202 = π × 400
- ≈ 1256.6 cm2
6.A circle has a diameter of 34 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 106.8 cm
- C = π × d = π × 34
- ≈ 106.8 cm
7.A circle has a diameter of 24 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 75.4 cm
- C = π × d = π × 24
- ≈ 75.4 cm
8.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 12.6 cm
- C = π × d = π × 4
- ≈ 12.6 cm
9.A circle has a diameter of 20 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 314.2 cm2
- r = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 cm
- A = π × r2 = π × 102 = π × 100
- ≈ 314.2 cm2
10.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 2 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 6.3 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 4
- ≈ 6.3 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.
