About this worksheet

Equations of circles. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can read the center and the radius from a circle's equation.
  • I can write the equation from the center and the radius, a point on it, a diameter, or a drawing.
  • I can tell whether a point is on, inside or outside a circle, and give its domain and range.

Standard: G-GPE.A.1

Words to know

center (h, k): The middle point; every point of the circle is one radius from it.

radius r: The distance from the center to the circle.

r²: The radius squared: the number on the right of the equation.

diameter: A segment through the center from one side to the other: two radii.

domain, range: All the x-values, all the y-values of the circle.

Common mistakes

Your child flipped the signs of the center.

Your child swapped the center's coordinates.

Your child used r² as the radius.

What to say

Ask: in (x − 3), what number makes the bracket zero?

Ask: which bracket has x in it?

Ask: if r² = 16, what is r?

Questions parents ask
