Approx 6.6 cm.
The side of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle, in this case 2a so the perimeter is 8a cm.
The perimeter of a full circle is 2*pi*r. Where, pi is the mathematical constant that is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14, and r is the radius of the circle. The perimeter of a semi circle, assumed to be half of a full circle is pi*r where pi and r are previously defined.
The circumference of a circle is pi times the diameter. If you want a third of that, divide by 3. (Pi is approximately 3.14) Then to get the perimeter add the diameter to the circumference of the 1/3 of the circle.
The answer depends on what characteristic of a half circle you want to calculate: its area or perimeter or something else.
The perimeter of a circle is its circumference
The measure around a circle is called a circumference, rather than a perimeter. The term "perimeter" is used for polygons. The circumference of a circle is equal to the diameter, multiplied by pi - or to the radius, multiplied by 2 x pi. The number pi - which can be defined precisely as the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle - is approximately 3.1416.
Area of circle = pi*212 = 1385.44236 square cm Area of rectangle = 1385.44236 square cm Lenght of rectangle = 1385.44236/18 = 76.96902 cm Perimeter of rectangle = 2(76.96902)+2(18) = 189.93804 cm
Since Pi is equal to the circumference over diameter, the diameter of a circle is equal to its circumference over Pi. So divide 24 centimeters by 3.14159 to get approximately 7.63943 centimeters.
No because the perimeter of a circle is its circumference
circumference
The perimeter of a circle would be the circumference.
First you have to measure the diameter of the circle. The diameter is pi (pi is approximately 3.1415) times the diameter is the perimeter. Half the diameter is the radius and the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. So for example, let us say that you have a circle with a diameter of 3 inches. The perimeter is then about 9.42 inches, and the area is about 7.07 square inches.
