Let’s solve each circle problem step by step. We’ll use these formulas:
-
Radius (r) = half of the diameter → r = d ÷ 2
-
Diameter (d) = twice the radius → d = 2 × r
-
Circumference (C) = π × diameter → C = πd or C = 2πr
-
Area (A) = π × radius² → A = πr²
We’ll leave answers in terms of π unless told otherwise — that means “exact” form.

Problem 1:
Given: Diameter = 8 ft
→ Radius = 8 ÷ 2 =
4 ft
→ Diameter =
8 ft (given)
→ Circumference = π × 8 =
8π ft
→ Area = π × 4² = π × 16 =
16π ft²

Problem 2:
Given: Radius = 7 cm
→ Radius =
7 cm (given)
→ Diameter = 2 × 7 =
14 cm
→ Circumference = 2 × π × 7 =
14π cm
→ Area = π × 7² = π × 49 =
49π cm²

Problem 3:
Given: Diameter = 14 m
→ Radius = 14 ÷ 2 =
7 m
→ Diameter =
14 m (given)
→ Circumference = π × 14 =
14π m
→ Area = π × 7² = π × 49 =
49π m²

Problem 4:
Given: Radius = 9 in.
→ Radius =
9 in. (given)
→ Diameter = 2 × 9 =
18 in.
→ Circumference = 2 × π × 9 =
18π in.
→ Area = π × 9² = π × 81 =
81π in²

Problem 5:
Given: Diameter = 14 ft
→ Radius = 14 ÷ 2 =
7 ft
→ Diameter =
14 ft (given)
→ Circumference = π × 14 =
14π ft
→ Area = π × 7² = π × 49 =
49π ft²
*(Same as Problem 3, just different units)*

Problem 6:
Given: Radius = 5 in.
→ Radius =
5 in. (given)
→ Diameter = 2 × 5 =
10 in.
→ Circumference = 2 × π × 5 =
10π in.
→ Area = π × 5² = π × 25 =
25π in²

Problem 7:
Given: Diameter = 20 m
→ Radius = 20 ÷ 2 =
10 m
→ Diameter =
20 m (given)
→ Circumference = π × 20 =
20π m
→ Area = π × 10² = π × 100 =
100π m²
---
Problem 8:
Given: Radius = 8 cm
→ Radius =
8 cm (given)
→ Diameter = 2 × 8 =
16 cm
→ Circumference = 2 × π × 8 =
16π cm
→ Area = π × 8² = π × 64 =
64π cm²

Problem 9:
Given: Diameter = 4 yd
→ Radius = 4 ÷ 2 =
2 yd
→ Diameter =
4 yd (given)
→ Circumference = π × 4 =
4π yd
→ Area = π × 2² = π × 4 =
4π yd²

Final Answer:
1) Radius = 4 ft, Diameter = 8 ft, Circumference = 8π ft, Area = 16π ft²
2) Radius = 7 cm, Diameter = 14 cm, Circumference = 14π cm, Area = 49π cm²
3) Radius = 7 m, Diameter = 14 m, Circumference = 14π m, Area = 49π m²
4) Radius = 9 in., Diameter = 18 in., Circumference = 18π in., Area = 81π in²
5) Radius = 7 ft, Diameter = 14 ft, Circumference = 14π ft, Area = 49π ft²
6) Radius = 5 in., Diameter = 10 in., Circumference = 10π in., Area = 25π in²
7) Radius = 10 m, Diameter = 20 m, Circumference = 20π m, Area = 100π m²
8) Radius = 8 cm, Diameter = 16 cm, Circumference = 16π cm, Area = 64π cm²
9) Radius = 2 yd, Diameter = 4 yd, Circumference = 4π yd, Area = 4π yd²
