  • Radius
  • Circumference
  • Sector
2.A straight line crosses a circle through its centre, joining two points on the edge. What is this line called?
3.The garden feature has a radius of 4.5 metres. Calculate its diameter.
4.A circular pond has a diameter of 12 metres. How long is its radius? Show the relationship you use.
5.True or false: Every diameter is also a chord, but not every chord is a diameter. Explain briefly.
6.A quarter of the circular garden is set aside for flowers. What is this one-quarter region called?
  • Semicircle
  • Quadrant
  • Circumference
  • Diameter
7.A path follows all the way around the outside edge of a circular bed. Which circle part does the path follow?

9.A circular table has a radius of 0.8 metres. Write the diameter in centimetres. (1 metre = 100 centimetres.)
