Step-by-step solution for: Circumference and Area of Circle Worksheets | 7th grade math ...
Let's solve the problems step by step.
---
We use the formulas:
- Circumference (C) = π × diameter (d)
- Circumference (C) = 2π × radius (r)
- So, diameter (d) = C / π
- And radius (r) = C / (2π)
We'll use π ≈ 3.14 or keep it as π for exact values.

#### 1) A circle has a circumference of 12π cm. What is the diameter?
Use:
$$ d = \frac{C}{\pi} = \frac{12\pi}{\pi} = 12 \text{ cm} $$
✔ Answer: a) 12 cm
---
#### 2) A wire of length 28π m is bent to form a circle. What is the radius?
Circumference = 28π m
So:
$$
C = 2\pi r \Rightarrow 28\pi = 2\pi r \Rightarrow r = \frac{28\pi}{2\pi} = 14 \text{ m}
$$
✔ Answer: c) 14 m
---
#### 3) A circular park has a circumference of 36π ft. Find its diameter.
$$
d = \frac{C}{\pi} = \frac{36\pi}{\pi} = 36 \text{ ft}
$$
✔ Answer: b) 36 ft
---
#### 4) The tip of the minute-hand travels 22π cm in one hour. Find the length of the minute-hand.
In one hour, the minute-hand completes one full revolution → so the distance traveled is the circumference of the circle traced by the tip.
So:
$$
C = 22\pi = 2\pi r \Rightarrow r = \frac{22\pi}{2\pi} = 11 \text{ cm}
$$
The length of the minute-hand is the radius.
✔ Answer: a) 11 cm
---
#### 5) The circumference of a bicycle wheel is 6π in. Find the diameter.
$$
d = \frac{C}{\pi} = \frac{6\pi}{\pi} = 6 \text{ in}
$$
✔ Answer: b) 6 in
---
We’ll use:
- $ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} $
- $ d = \frac{C}{\pi} $
Let’s compute each row.

#### 5. Circumference = ? — Missing value. Probably typo or incomplete.
But let’s assume it’s missing, so we skip or note that data is missing.
Wait — looking at the table:
| S.No | Circumference | Radius | Diameter |
|------|---------------|--------|----------|
| 6. | 10π ft | | |
| 7. | 24π in | | |
| 8. | 34π m | | |
| 9. | 40π cm | | |

Part A: Choose the correct choice
We use the formulas:
- Circumference (C) = π × diameter (d)
- Circumference (C) = 2π × radius (r)
- So, diameter (d) = C / π
- And radius (r) = C / (2π)
We'll use π ≈ 3.14 or keep it as π for exact values.
