How it works: a quick refresher
The rules this worksheet practices, then one problem worked from start to finish.
| To do this | Use this rule |
|---|---|
| Diameter | d = 2 × r |
| Circumference | C = π × d = 2 × π × r |
| Area | A = π × r² |
| π | ≈ 3.14 |
Worked example
A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. Find its area. Use 3.14 for π.
- 1The area formula uses the radius. Half of 10 cm is 5 cm.
- 2Square the radius: 5² = 25.
- 3Multiply by π: 3.14 × 25 = 78.5.
- 4The area is about 78.5 cm².

Grade level and standard
Written for 7th grade math (geometry) and aligned to CCSS 7.G.B.4. It also works as review in later grades.
Common questions
- Is there an answer key?
- Yes. Every worksheet has a matching answer key with each answer worked on the same grid or layout as the question. The worksheet code printed at the bottom of each page pairs a sheet with its key.
- Why are the answers approximate?
- π goes on forever, so 3.14 is a close value, not the exact one. The answers use 3.14 and are rounded to the nearest hundredth. A calculator's π key gives slightly different answers.
- What is the most common mistake?
- Using the diameter in the area formula. Area needs the radius, so halve the diameter first. With a 10 cm diameter, the area is 3.14 × 5², not 3.14 × 10².
- How many different versions are there?
- About a million per skill. Each time you press the button the problems are generated fresh, so you can print a different version for every student, a retake, or another night of practice.
- Are the worksheets free?
- Yes. They are free to print and copy for your home or classroom, with no sign-up.
