Calculating the radius of a semicircle depends on what information about the semicircle is given.
Radius is = to half the diameter so.... when the radius of the semicircle is 5ft then the diameter is 10ft.
The area of a semicircle is half of the area of a circle. The area of a circle is pi x radius x radius. So the area of a semicircle is 1/2 x pi x radius x radius or (pi x radius x radius) / 2.
A semicircle is half a circle. So the perimeter of a semicircle is half the circumference of the whole circle plus the diameter, which is twice the radius: perimeter = 1/2 x 2{pi}r + 2r perimeter ~= 3.14x8 + 2x8 ~= 41.13cm
a semicircle is half of a circle... so like a circle cut in half, in a straight line. just for some information you may also need in the future: area of a semicircle: multiply the radius by itself and then multiply that by pi (approx. 3.14). divide that by 2. perimeter (circumference) of a semicircle: pi times radius. hope that helps.
The diameter of the semicircle will be twice the radius.
To find the perimeter of the curved section of the semi-circle: Perimeter of semicircle = Pi x radius If you also need to the find the perimeter of the straight part of the semicircle (the diameter), it is simply double the radius.
Calculating the radius of a semicircle depends on what information about the semicircle is given.
You can multiply the radius by pi to get the length of the semicircle.
Radius is = to half the diameter so.... when the radius of the semicircle is 5ft then the diameter is 10ft.
The area of a semicircle is half of the area of a circle. The area of a circle is pi x radius x radius. So the area of a semicircle is 1/2 x pi x radius x radius or (pi x radius x radius) / 2.
Pi*radius squared is how to find the area of a semicircle
Area of a semicircle = (pi*radius^2)/2
The answer will depend on what measure of the semicircle is 5 inches: its radius or diameter.
The circumference of a semicircle is pi times the radius plus the diameter.
It is half of a circle; the circle's radius (and that of the semicircle) is 10 cm.
