- 1.A chord divides a circle into two regions, one larger than the other. Write down the term used for the smaller of these two regions.
- 2.A chord is drawn across a circle, dividing the circle into two regions. Write down the name of one of these two regions.
- 3.Write down the term for the distance all the way around the edge of a circle.
- 4.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Work out the radius of the circle.
- 5.A circle has diameter 10 cm. Using π = 3.14, work out the circumference of the circle.
- 6.A chord divides a circle into two segments of different sizes. Write down the name given to the smaller of the two segments.
- 7.A sector of a circle is bounded by two straight edges and one curved edge. Write down the mathematical term for each of the two straight edges.
- 8.A straight line is drawn from the centre of a circle to a point on the circle. Write down the name of this line.
- 9.Every point on a circle is exactly the same distance from one particular point. Write down the name of that point.
- 10.A tangent touches a circle with centre O at the point P. Q is a point on the tangent. Write down the circle fact that tells you the size of angle OPQ.
- 11.A circular table mat has diameter 20 cm. Yasmin has a 70 cm length of ribbon and sews it around the edge of the mat with no overlap. Using π = 3.14, work out how much ribbon is left over after going around the mat once.
- 12.A circle has two straight radii drawn from the centre to the edge, together with the arc between them. Write down the name of the region enclosed by these two radii and the arc.
- 13.A cyclist rides around a perfectly circular track with centre O. At every moment of the ride, the distance from O to the cyclist is exactly the same. Which term names this fixed distance?
- 14.Two circles are drawn with the same centre but different radii. Write down the term used to describe this pair of circles.
- 15.A circle has centre O. PQ, RS and TU are three chords of the circle, and only one of them passes through O. Write down what this tells you about that chord.
