Find the area and perimeter of the full circle, then throw away 1/2 of each.
Perimeter (circumference) of a circle = (pi) times (diameter).
For a half circle, it's (1/2 pi) times (diameter)
Area of a circle = (pi) times (radius)2
For a half circle, it's (1/2 pi) times (radius)2
It is not. If you draw yourself a square then inscribe a circle with a radius of half the length of a side of the square, the circle will fit inside the square but the corners of the square will be outside the circle. Thus by inspection the area of the square is larger than the area of the circle.
The circumference of a circle = 2π r = π a (where a is the base of the semicircle and is also the diameter of the circle) The perimeter of the semicircle = half the perimeter of the circle + the base length The perimeter of the semicircle = πa/2 + a = a(1 + π /2) feet
Half the Circumference + the DiameterCircumference of a circle = pi X d ,so perimeter of a semi-circle = (3.142 X Diameter) + Diameter
Ah, what a lovely question! To find the perimeter of a semicircle, you'll need to add the curved part (half the circumference of a full circle) to the diameter of the semicircle. Since the diameter is 8cm, the radius is half of that, which is 4cm. The perimeter would then be half the circumference of a full circle (pi times the diameter) plus the diameter, giving you a total of 4π + 8 cm.
The area of a full circle is pi x R squared where R = RADIUS The area of a semi circle is half of that, or pi x R squared/2
Let r be the radius of the circle. Then the perimeter of the half circle is pi*r + 2r. That is half of the circumference plus the diameter.
The formula for the perimeter of a whole circle is 2 π r therefore the perimeter of a half circle will be (2 π r)/2 which is π r n.b. the perimeter of a circle is normally referred to as the circumference...
Its perimeter is half of its circumference plus its diameter
The perimeter of a circle is called the circumferenceTo find the circumference of a circle you do 2 times pi times radiusC = 2 * 3.14159 * 7 = 43.98inchesSince this is a half circle you have to take half of the circumference...you answer is 21.99inches
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.
The area of a circle is equal to the perimeter times half the radius. That is, A = P*r/2
The answer depends on what characteristic of a half circle you want to calculate: its area or perimeter or something else.
The circumference of a circle is 2{pi}r. So, for a semicircle it is half this, that is {pi}r. The perimeter of the semicircle is the round bit ({pi}r) plus a diameter of the circle (2r) perimeter = {pi}4 + 2 x 4 ~= 20.6 in Area of a circle is {pi}r2, so for a semicircle it is half this. area ={pi}42 / 2 ~= 25.1 in2.
OK, SO to find the area of a circle, you find the radius (half of the diameter), and fit it into the equation πr2=A where r equals radius and A = area. The perimeter of a circle is π multiplied by the diameter. π is ≈ 3.1415296.
Area of half a circle in square m = pi*radius2 divided by 2
Assume the shape is half circle. The area of the circle is: A = πr² where r is the radius Since the semi circle has half the area of the circle, we obtain: A = πr²/2
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.
