Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the radius of a circle with the equation x² + y² = 25.
[2 marks]2.
For the circle x² + y² = r², if the radius is 7 units, write down the equation of the circle.
[2 marks]3.
Identify the radius of the circle given the equation x² + y² = 64.
[1 mark]4.
Plot the graph of y = 2x on the provided grid. What is the radius of the circle passing through the points (3,4) and (−3,4)?
[3 marks]5.
Construct a circle with a radius of 4 units centered at the origin. Write the equation of this circle.
[2 marks]6.
A circular pond has a radius of 6 meters. Write down its equation in the form x² + y² = r².
[2 marks]7.
A drone flies around a circular field centered at the origin with radius 10 units. Its position at a certain moment is at (6,8). Verify if this point lies on the circle.
[3 marks]8.
Explain why the point (0, r) lies on the circle x² + y² = r².
[2 marks]9.
A circle is described by the equation x² + y² = 36. Find the length of the diameter.
[2 marks]10.
A circular track has a radius of 15 meters. Calculate the circumference of the track.
[3 marks]11.
Error Analysis: A student claims that the point (0, r) does not lie on the circle x² + y² = r². Is this true? Explain your reasoning.
