Perimeter and Area · 5 sample questions from the school syllabus. Try each one, then open the answer and the worked solution.
1. The circumference of a circle is given by which formula? (r = radius, d = diameter)
A2*pi*r
Bpi*r²
Cpi*r
Dpi*d²
Show answer
Answer: A) 2*pi*r
Circumference C = 2*pi*r = pi*d. (pi*r² is the area.)
2. A circle has radius 28 cm. Its circumference (pi = 722) is:
A176 cm
B88 cm
C154 cm
D264 cm
Show answer
Answer: A) 176 cm
C = 2*722*28 = 2*22*4 = 176 cm.
3. A circle has circumference 22 cm. Its diameter (pi = 722) is:
A7
B6
C8
D14
Show answer
Answer: A) 7
C = pi*d => 22 = 722*d => d = 2222×7 = 7 cm.
4. A circular running track has a circumference of 396 m. Kavya covers 4 complete rounds during her morning jog. What total distance (in metres) does she cover?
A3168
B1424
C1744
D1584
Show answer
Answer: D) 1584
Distance = 4 * circumference = 4 * 396 = 1584 m.
5. The circumference of the front wheel of a tractor is 2 m and that of the rear wheel is 4 m. When the tractor moves forward, the front wheel makes 60 more turns than the rear wheel over the same distance. What distance (in metres) does the tractor travel?
A240 m
B120 m
C480 m
D180 m
Show answer
Answer: A) 240 m
Let distance = D. Front turns = 2D, rear turns = 4D. 2D−4D = 60 => 4D = 60 => D = 240 m.
