Circle Area and Circumference - Answer Key

Circle formulas diagram

📐 Part 1: Formula Review and Multiple Choice

1. What is the area of a circle with radius 5 inches?

Answer: B) 78.5 square inches

Work: A = π × r² = 3.14 × 5² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5 square inches

2. What is the circumference of a circle with radius 3 feet?

Answer: B) 18.84 feet

Work: C = 2 × π × r = 2 × 3.14 × 3 = 18.84 feet

3. If a circle has a diameter of 8 inches, what is its radius?

Answer: C) 4 inches

Work: radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 inches

✏️ Part 2: Problem Solving

4. Pizza area problem

Answer: 113.04 square inches

Work: A = π × r² = 3.14 × 6² = 3.14 × 36 = 113.04 square inches

5. Bicycle wheel problem

Answer: 75.36 inches

Work: C = π × d = 3.14 × 24 = 75.36 inches

6. Garden radius problem

Answer: 5 feet

Work: C = 2 × π × r, so r = C ÷ (2 × π) = 31.4 ÷ (2 × 3.14) = 31.4 ÷ 6.28 = 5 feet

7. Comparing circles

Answer: Circle B is 4 times larger than Circle A

Work: Circle A: A = 3.14 × 4² = 50.24 sq in; Circle B: A = 3.14 × 8² = 200.96 sq in; 200.96 ÷ 50.24 = 4

🎯 Part 3: Real-World Applications

8. Swimming pool cost problem

Answer: $904.32

Work: A = π × r² = 3.14 × 12² = 3.14 × 144 = 452.16 sq ft; Cost = 452.16 × $2 = $904.32

9. Running track problem

Answer: 1,256 meters

Work: C = π × d = 3.14 × 100 = 314 meters per lap; 4 laps = 314 × 4 = 1,256 meters
