Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A circle has a radius of 8 cm. Calculate its area. Give your answer in terms of π.

  1. 32π cm²
  2. 16π cm²
  3. 64π cm²
  4. 8π cm²
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — 64π cm²
Area = πr² = π × 8² = 64π cm². A common mistake is to use A = πd², which would give 256π, or to forget to square the radius and write 8π.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the radius of a circle?

  1. The distance around the outside
  2. The space enclosed inside it
  3. The distance right across through the centre
  4. The distance from the centre to the circumference
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — The distance from the centre to the circumference
The distance right across through the centre is the diameter, which is twice as long.
