Why is the area of a circle bigger than a square with the same perimeter?
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.
If the base of a semicircle is a feet What is its perimeter?
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
What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a semicircle?
Half the Circumference + the DiameterCircumference of a circle = pi X d ,so perimeter of a semi-circle = (3.142 X Diameter) + Diameter
How do you find the area of a semi-circle in terms of pi?
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
What is the perimeter of a semicircle if the diameter is 8cm?
To find the perimeter of a semicircle, you need to add the curved edge (half the circumference of a full circle) to the diameter of the semicircle. The formula for the circumference of a full circle is C = πd, where d is the diameter. Therefore, the circumference of the full circle is π(8) = 8π cm. The perimeter of the semicircle would be half of the circumference of the full circle plus the diameter, so it would be 4π + 8 cm, or approximately 20.28 cm.
