1. Calculate the length of the diameter or radius of each circle, rounding your answers to two significant figures.
b) Area = 12cm² d = 2 12
π = 3.9cm
d
199.6
d) Area = 199.6m² r= π = 8.0m
r
2. Calculate the shaded area of the following shapes, rounding your answers to two decimal places.
a)
Area of rectangle = 12 × 10 = 120cm²
12cm
b) (πR²) − (πr²)
12cm
1m = 100cm
Radius = 100
2π = 15.9154…cm
4. A 2 pence coin has a diameter of 26mm. A 5 pence coin has a radius of 0.85cm.
Calculate the total area, in centimetres squared, of 19 pence using only 5 pence and 2 pence
coins. (You must use more 5p coins than 2p coins.) Leave your answer in terms of π and round the
coefficient of π to three significant figures.
26mm = 2.6cm
19p = 3 × 5p and 2 × 2p
