GCSE · Mathematics · WJEC · G17Circumference and area of a circle; surface area / volume of spheres, pyramids, cones

Question

A circular pond has diameter 9.4 m. Calculate its area, giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

Mark scheme (2 marks):

  • M1: r = 9.4 ÷ 2 = 4.7 m, then A = π × 4.7² = π × 22.09
  • A1: 69.4 m² (accept 69.3–69.4 depending on rounding chain)
  • Penalty: missing units −0; using d² instead of r² scores 0.
