GCSE Maths Practice: circle-properties

Question 2 of 10
‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{A circle has a radius of 5 cm.}\\ \text{Calculate its circumference to 1 decimal place.}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Multiply 2 × π × radius to get circumference.

This question focuses on calculating circumference, a key circle property. Higher-difficulty requires precision with units, correct π use, and understanding linear vs square measurements. Students should visualise walking around the circle and connecting circumference to diameter and radius. Practising these calculations develops geometric reasoning, prepares students for real-world applications like construction or design, and ensures understanding of the relationship between circumference, diameter, and radius.
