Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working clearly in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the radius of a circle with a diameter of 14 cm.
[2 marks]2.
A circle has a radius of 9 meters. Find its circumference. (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[3 marks]3.
If the radius of a circle is doubled, describe how the circumference changes. Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]4.
Construct a circle with a radius of 5 cm and draw its diameter.
[2 marks]5.
A circular garden has a radius of 12 meters. A path of width 2 meters is built around it. What is the new radius of the outer edge of the path?
[3 marks]6.
A wheel has a radius of 0.5 meters. How many rotations does it make to cover a distance of 31.4 meters? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[3 marks]7.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student claims that the radius of a circle is equal to its diameter divided by 2. True or false? Justify your answer.
[4 marks]8.
Calculate the area of a circle with radius 8 cm. (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[3 marks]9.
A circular pond has a radius of 10 meters. A rectangular fence surrounds it, with length twice the radius and width three times the radius. Calculate the total length of the fence.
[4 marks]10.
A student sees two circles: one with radius 3 cm and another with radius 6 cm. Which circle has a larger circumference, and by what factor?
[4 marks]11.
Error Analysis: A student computes the radius of a circle with diameter 20 cm as 10 cm, but then mistakenly calculates its area using πr² with r=10 cm. Is their area calculation correct? Explain why or why not.
