Year 8 Circle circumference and area practice
Choose from 26 available worksheets below. Try an answer first, use an optional hint if needed, then compare your reasoning with the worked solution.
Understand the topic
Circumference measures the distance around a circle. Area measures the surface inside it. The diameter is twice the radius: d = 2r.
Worked example
For a circle with radius 3 cm, circumference C = 2πr = 6π cm and area A = πr² = 9π cm². Leave answers in terms of π unless a decimal approximation is requested.
Common mistake to avoid
Do not substitute the diameter for r. Circumference uses length units; area uses square units.
