Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the radius of a circle with a circumference of 62.8 cm.
[2 marks]2.
Find the area of a circle with a radius of 7 cm.
[2 marks]3.
A circular pond has a diameter of 20 meters. Calculate its area.
[3 marks]4.
Construct a circle with a radius of 5 cm. Label the center and plot the circle on the grid.
[3 marks]5.
A cyclist travels along a circular track with a radius of 50 meters. Find the distance traveled in one complete lap.
[3 marks]6.
Explain why all points on a circle are equidistant from the center.
[4 marks]7.
A horizontal line cuts a circle with radius 8 cm, creating a chord. If the perpendicular distance from the center to the line is 3 cm, find the length of the chord.
[3 marks]8.
Calculate the coordinates of the point on a circle centered at (4, 5) with radius 6, where the point lies directly above the center.
[2 marks]9.
