Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Area of Circle Word Problems Worksheet | 7th Grade PDF Worksheets
Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll use the formula for the area of a circle:
Area = π × r², where r is the radius.

We’ll also remember:
- A semicircle is half a circle → divide full area by 2.
- A quarter circle is 1/4 of a full circle → divide by 4.
- For shapes made of multiple parts, add or subtract areas as needed.
- Always round to 2 decimal places at the end.

Problem 1: Semicircle with diameter 8 cm



Radius = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 cm

Full circle area = π × 4² = π × 16 ≈ 50.2655 cm²
Semicircle = 50.2655 ÷ 2 ≈ 25.13 cm²

Final Answer for #1: 25.13

Problem 2: Quarter circle with radius 4.7 mm



Area = (π × 4.7²) ÷ 4
First, 4.7² = 22.09
Then, π × 22.09 ≈ 69.398
Divide by 4 → 69.398 ÷ 4 ≈ 17.35 mm²

Final Answer for #2: 17.35

Problem 3: Circle missing a small slice — but we’re given radius = 11 m



Wait — looking at the shape, it looks like almost a full circle, but actually, from the diagram, it seems like it’s 3/4 of a circle? Let me check again.

Actually, no — in many such worksheets, if it's drawn like Pac-Man with a wedge missing, and only radius is given without angle, sometimes it’s meant to be full circle minus a sector — BUT here, since no angle is given, and it’s labeled just “11 m” as radius, and the shape is mostly filled... wait — let me re-express.

Looking carefully: The blue shape has a straight line across the top right — that suggests it’s 3/4 of a circle. Because a full circle would have no flat edge. This has two radii forming a 90° gap? Actually, visually, it looks like 270° out of 360° — so 3/4.

But let’s confirm: In standard Cazoom Maths problems, when they show a circle with a triangular wedge cut out and label the radius, and the remaining part is colored, it’s often 3/4 circle if the missing part is a right angle.

Assuming that: Area = (3/4) × π × r²
r = 11 m
r² = 121
π × 121 ≈ 380.1327
× 3/4 = 285.0995 → 285.10 m²

But wait — maybe it’s a full circle? No, because there’s a visible缺口 (gap). Since no angle is specified, and this is level 7.G.B.4 (middle school), likely it’s intended to be 3/4 circle.

Alternatively — perhaps it’s a full circle? But the drawing clearly shows a missing sector. Without an angle, we can’t compute exact fraction — unless...

Wait! Looking back at problem 3: The arrow points to the radius, and the shape is a circle with a V-shaped cutout — which typically represents 270 degrees, i.e., 3/4 circle.

I think it’s safe to assume 3/4.

So:

Area = (3/4) × π × 11² = (3/4) × π × 121 = (363/4) × π = 90.75 × π ≈ 90.75 × 3.1416 ≈ 285.099 → 285.10

Final Answer for #3: 285.10

Problem 4: Two quarter circles making a half circle? Wait — look: two red quarter-circles arranged to form a sort of bowtie. Total height is 16 mm.



Each quarter circle has radius = half of 16 mm? Wait — the vertical dimension is 16 mm, and each quarter circle spans from center to edge — so radius = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 mm

There are two quarter circles → total area = 2 × (1/4) × π × r² = (1/2) × π × 64 = 32π ≈ 100.53 mm²

Wait — let me double-check: Each quarter circle has radius 8 mm? Yes, because the full height from top to bottom is 16 mm, and each quarter circle goes from center to outer edge — so yes, radius = 8 mm.

Two quarter circles = half a circle → area = (1/2) × π × 8² = (1/2) × π × 64 = 32π ≈ 100.53096 → 100.53 mm²

Final Answer for #4: 100.53

Problem 5: Purple shape — looks like three-quarters of a circle? Or what?



It’s a purple shape with a dashed line down the middle — and labeled 12 cm from center to tip. So radius = 12 cm.

The shape covers 270 degrees? Let’s see: It has three "petals"? No — actually, it looks like a circle divided into four quadrants, and three are shaded? Wait — no, it’s symmetric — actually, it looks like three-quarters of a circle.

Yes — similar to problem 3, but now it’s clearly 3/4 circle.

Area = (3/4) × π × 12² = (3/4) × π × 144 = 108π ≈ 339.292 → 339.29 cm²

Final Answer for #5: 339.29

Problem 6: Yellow shape — looks like three-quarters of a circle again? Height is 4 m.



Vertical dimension is 4 m — that should be the diameter? Or radius?

Look: The shape extends from top to bottom — and the dashed lines suggest symmetry. If the total height is 4 m, and it’s made of circular arcs, then likely the radius is 2 m? Wait — no.

Actually, in problem 6, the yellow shape has a vertical span of 4 m — and it looks like it’s composed of three quarter-circles? Or perhaps it’s 3/4 of a circle with radius 2 m?

Wait — let’s think differently. The shape resembles a “Pac-Man” rotated, but with three sections. Actually, counting the segments: it has three identical curved parts — each is a quarter circle? And together they make 3/4 of a full circle.

And the distance from top to bottom is 4 m — which would be the diameter of the full circle? Then radius = 2 m.

If radius = 2 m, and area is 3/4 of circle:

Area = (3/4) × π × 2² = (3/4) × π × 4 = 3π ≈ 9.4248 → 9.42 m²

But wait — is the 4 m the diameter or the radius? The arrow spans the entire height of the shape — which for a 3/4 circle oriented this way, the height equals the diameter.

Yes — so radius = 2 m.

Final Answer for #6: 9.42

Problem 7: Square with side 12 cm, with a white circle inside touching all sides → so circle diameter = 12 cm → radius = 6 cm



Shaded area = area of square - area of circle

Square area = 12 × 12 = 144 cm²
Circle area = π × 6² = 36π ≈ 113.097 cm²
Shaded = 144 - 113.097 ≈ 30.90 cm²

Final Answer for #7: 30.90

Problem 8: Gray shape — looks like a quarter circle? With height 110 km.



The shape is bounded by two straight lines (forming a right angle) and a curve — so it’s a quarter circle with radius 110 km.

Area = (1/4) × π × 110² = (1/4) × π × 12100 = 3025π ≈ 9503.317 → 9503.32 km²

Final Answer for #8: 9503.32

Problem 9: Square with diagonal 19 mm, and a white region that is a quarter circle? Wait — let’s analyze.



The gray area is the square minus a white region. The white region is bounded by two sides of the square and a curve — which looks like a quarter circle centered at one corner.

The diagonal of the square is 19 mm. So first, find side length of square.

For a square, diagonal d = s√2 → s = d / √2 = 19 / √2 ≈ 19 / 1.4142 ≈ 13.435 mm

But wait — the white region: it’s a quarter circle whose radius is equal to the side of the square? Because it starts at one corner and curves to the adjacent corners.

So radius r = side of square = s = 19 / √2

But we need area of gray region = area of square - area of quarter circle

Area of square = s² = (19 / √2)² = 361 / 2 = 180.5 mm²

Area of quarter circle = (1/4) × π × r² = (1/4) × π × s² = (1/4) × π × 180.5 ≈ (1/4) × 3.1416 × 180.5 ≈ (0.7854) × 180.5 ≈ 141.7647

Gray area = 180.5 - 141.7647 ≈ 38.7353 → 38.74 mm²

Wait — let me verify:

s = 19 / √2
s² = 361 / 2 = 180.5 — correct.

Quarter circle area = (1/4)πr² = (1/4)πs² = (π/4)*180.5

π/4 ≈ 0.785398
0.785398 × 180.5 ≈ let’s compute:

0.785398 × 180 = 141.37164
0.785398 × 0.5 = 0.392699
Total ≈ 141.764339

Gray area = 180.5 - 141.764339 = 38.735661 → rounded to 2 decimals: 38.74

Final Answer for #9: 38.74
