Circle Properties & Measurement — solved examples for Class 7 IB

Example 1easy

Which of the following terms correctly describes a line segment that connects two points on the circumference of a circle and passes through its center?

A)A. Radius
B)B. Chord
C)C. Diameter
D)D. Arc

Step-by-step solution

A chord is a line segment connecting two points on the circumference of a circle.
A diameter is a special type of chord that passes through the center of the circle, making it the longest chord.

Answer: C. Diameter

Example 2medium

A straight line segment that connects two points on the circumference of a circle, but does not necessarily pass through the centre, is best described as a:

A)A) Radius
B)B) Diameter
C)C) Chord
D)D) Arc

Step-by-step solution

Understand the definition of a chord. A chord is any straight line segment whose endpoints lie on the circumference of a circle.
Compare this to the other options. A radius connects the centre to the circumference. A diameter is a chord that specifically passes through the centre. An arc is a part of the circumference itself.
The description provided fits the definition of a chord perfectly, as it connects two points on the circumference without the requirement of passing through the centre.

Answer: C) Chord

Example 3hard

A circular stained-glass window in a cathedral has several chords. Which of the following statements about chords in a circle must always be true?

A)A. All chords are equal in length.
B)B. A chord always passes through the centre of the circle.
C)C. The longest chord in any circle is its diameter.
D)D. A chord is always shorter than the radius.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Understand the definition of a chord. A chord is a line segment connecting two points on the circumference of a circle.
Step 2: Evaluate the options. Option A is false; chords can have different lengths. Option B is false; only a diameter passes through the centre. Option D is false; a chord can be longer than the radius (e.g., a diameter is twice the radius).
Step 3: Consider the longest possible chord. As a chord gets closer to the centre, its length increases. The chord passing through the centre is the diameter, and it is the longest possible chord.

Answer: C. The longest chord in any circle is its diameter.

Practice questions on Circle Properties & Measurement

Q1.easy
If the radius of a circular clock face is 15 cm, what is the length of its diameter?
1. A)A. 7.5 cm
2. B)B. 30 cm
3. C)C. 15 cm
4. D)D. 22.5 cm
Show answer
Answer: B. 30 cm
Hint: Remember the fundamental relationship between the radius and the diameter of any circle.
Q2.easy
A small section of the curve that forms the boundary of a circle is best described as a/an:
1. A)A. Arc
2. B)B. Sector
3. C)C. Segment
4. D)D. Chord
Show answer
Answer: A. Arc
Hint: Think about what 'arc' means in everyday language, like an archway or a rainbow.
Q3.easy
A circular track in a park has a radius of 21 metres. Calculate the circumference of the track. Use π ≈ 22/7.
1. A)A. 66 m
2. B)B. 88 m
3. C)C. 102 m
4. D)D. 132 m
Show answer
Answer: D. 132 m
Hint: Recall the formula for the circumference of a circle, C = 2πr.
Q4.medium
A circular window in a lighthouse has a diameter of 1.2 metres. What is the circumference of the window, rounded to one decimal place? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
1. A)A) 1.9 m
2. B)B) 3.8 m
3. C)C) 7.5 m
4. D)D) 15.1 m
Show answer
Answer: B) 3.8 m
Hint: Remember the relationship between diameter and circumference. The formula C = πd is often quicker when diameter is given.

Q6.medium
The circumference of a circular Ferris wheel in Paris is 157 metres. What is the radius of the Ferris wheel, rounded to the nearest metre? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
1. A)A) 25 m
2. B)B) 50 m
3. C)C) 78 m
4. D)D) 100 m
Show answer
Answer: A) 25 m
Hint: Start with the circumference formula, then rearrange it to solve for the radius.
Q7.hard
A rectangular swimming pool in Athens, Greece, is 20 m long and 10 m wide. A semicircular section is added to one of the 10 m sides, extending outwards. What is the total perimeter of the new, enlarged pool? Use π ≈ 3.14.
1. A)A. 61.4 m
2. B)B. 75.7 m
3. C)C. 65.7 m
4. D)D. 71.4 m
Show answer
Answer: C. 65.7 m
Hint: Remember to only include the *outer* edges of the shape for the perimeter. The diameter of the semicircle is the side of the rectangle to which it is attached.
Q8.hard

2. B)B. 78.5 cm²
3. C)C. 21.5 cm²
4. D)D. 80.6 cm²
Show answer
Answer: C. 21.5 cm²
Hint: Consider what shape is formed when four quarter-circles are combined. Then subtract this area from the total area of the square.
Q9.hard
The circumference of the base of a cylindrical pillar at a historical site in Rome, Italy, is 12.56 meters. What is the area of the base of this pillar? Use π ≈ 3.14.
