- 1.A circle has centre O. Radii OA and OB are drawn, together with the arc AB, enclosing a sector. The straight chord AB is also drawn. Write down the name of the region enclosed between the chord AB and the arc AB.
- 2.A circle has a radius of 3 cm. Work out the diameter of the circle.
- 3.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.
- 4.A circle is drawn on a page. Write down how many radii can be drawn in the circle.
- 5.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.
- 6.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.
- 7.Two points on a circle divide its circumference into two arcs of different lengths. Write down the name given to the shorter of the two arcs.
- 8.A trundle wheel has a diameter of 0.5 m. It is rolled along the ground and makes 20 complete turns. Using π = 3.14, work out the total distance rolled, in metres.
- 9.A chord is drawn across a circle, dividing the circle into two regions. Write down the name of one of these two regions.
- 10.A chord divides a circle into two segments of different sizes. Write down the name given to the smaller of the two segments.
- 11.A sector of a circle has an angle of 90° at the centre. Write down what fraction of the whole circle this sector represents.
- 12.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.
- 13.A straight line touches the edge of a circle at exactly one point and does not cross into the circle at all. Write down the term for this line.
- 14.A circle has diameter 10 cm. Using π = 3.14, work out the circumference of the circle.
- 15.The curved part of a circle's circumference, between two points on the circle, has its own name. Write down this name.
