Key to Geometry workbook series

Key to Geometry Workbooks

Here is a non-intimidating way to prepare students for formal geometry. Key to Geometry workbooks introduce students to a wide range of geometric discoveries as they do step-by-step constructions. Using only a pencil, compass, and straightedge, students begin by drawing lines, bisecting angles, and reproducing segments. Later they do sophisticated constructions involving over a dozen steps-and are prompted to form their own generalizations. When they finish, students will have been introduced to 134 geometric terms and will be ready to tackle formal proofs.

Circumference and Area of a Circle Worksheets

This page is a one-stop shop for all your finding area and circumference of a circle exercises. Catering to the learning needs of students in grade 5 through grade 8, these printable worksheets practice the topic pretty much across the board: easy, moderate and hard. The job in the easy set is to calculate the area and circumference of the circles with radius ranging from 1 to 25. The moderate set requires rounding answers to tenth place with the radius of circles ranging between 25 and 100. In the hard worksheets, the radius is rendered in decimal and the task is to round your answers to two decimal places. Use pi = 3.14 wherever necessary. Explore some of these worksheets for free!

Circles Worksheets

Circles worksheets help students to get a good understanding of all concepts related to a circle. These can include questions on identifying the radius and diameter of a given circle, calculating the circumference and the area, arcs, central angles, semi-circles and so on.

Benefits of Circles Worksheets

Circles form an integral part of geometry. They are also an important part of several real-life problems. As it is such a vast topic, it can tend to get confusing. Using the circles worksheets helps students to practice multiple questions allowing them to have clear concepts and combat any confusion that they may have.

As these math worksheets provide flexibility, they strengthen each concept under the topic of circles and move to either tougher questions on the same or an entirely different concept.

Area of a Circle Online Quiz

What is area.

  • Area is a measure of the amount of space inside a shape.
  • It is measured in squares, so it can be square inches (in 2 ), square cm (cm 2 ), square feet(ft 2 ), etc.

The formula for the area of a circle is: A = πr 2 , where r is the radius of the circle.

To find the area of a circle, follow these simple steps:

  • find the radius of the circle (the distance from one side to the center of the circle). It is the same as half of the diameter of the circle.
  • square the radius (multiply the radius by itself)
  • multiply this amount by pi (π)
  • you have now found the area of the circle.
  • the formula for the circumference of a circle is A = π x r x r or A = π r 2 , where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.

Pi (written π) is a special mathematical number which is used to help calculate areas and perimeters of circles.

Pi always has the same value which is 3.141592...

Area of a Circle Examples

Area of a circle example 1.

Find the area of the circle below to 1 decimal place.

To find the area of the circle, we need to find the radius first.

The radius is half of the diameter, so it is half of 5 = 2.5 cm.

Next we need to square the radius: 2.5 2 = 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25 cm.

Finally we need to multiply this amount by pi (π).

So the area of this circle is π x r 2 = π x 6.25 cm.

If we take pi = 3.14, this gives us an area of 3.14 x 6.25 = 19.6 square cm or 19.6 cm 2 to 1 decimal place.

Area of a Circle Example 2

Find the area of the circle below to the nearest inch.

To find the area of a circle, we need to find the radius first.

The radius of the circle is half of the diamter which is half of 7 = 3.5 inches.

Next we need to square the radius: 3.5 2 = 3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25 cm.

So the area of this circle is π x r 2 = π x 12.25 cm.

If we take pi = 3.14, this gives us an area of 3.14 x 12.25 = 38.5 square inches or 38.5 in 2 to 1 decimal place.

Area of a Circle Example 3

Find the area of the circle below and give your answer to the nearest whole number.

To find the area of a circle, we need to square the radius and multiply this by pi (π)

The radius of the circle is 12m, so the square of the radius is 12 2 = 12 x 12 = 144.

So the area of this circle is π x r 2 = π x 144 m.

This gives us an area of π x 144 = 452 square m or 452 m 2 to the nearest whole number.

Our Area of a Circle Calculator will find the area of any circle, if you type in a radius or diameter.

It will take whole numbers, fractions or decimal values.

The best thing about it is that it shows the working out, step-by-step.

We have split the worksheets into 2 different sections:

  • This section contains straightforward area of circle questions;
  • Each worksheet comes with two versions: version A is in standard units, version B is in metric units.

Sheets 1A and 1B contain circles with the radius marked.

Sheets 2A and 2B contain circles with the diameter marked.

Sheets 3A and 3B contain a mixture of circles with either the diameter or the radius marked.

  • Area of a Circle Sheet 1A

  • Area of a Circle Sheet 1B (metric version)
  • Area of a Circle Sheet 2A
  • Area of a Circle Sheet 2B (metric version)
  • Area of a Circle Sheet 3A
  • Area of a Circle Sheet 3B (metric version)

Sheets 1A and 1B contain straightforward area word problems.

Sheets 2A and 2B contain slightly harder word problems.

Sheets 3A and 3B are the hardest sheets and require multiple steps involving subtracting the areas of circles to find the areas of more complex shapes.
