Best Answer

Multiply the radius of the semicircle by pi and add the diameter.

So, πr+d

-----

True, but simpler to stick to either radius (r) or (d)

πr+2r = r*(π+2)

or

πd/2+d = d*(π/2+1)

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


How do you find the perimeter of a shape that has a semicircle?

What is the perimeter of a semicircle with radius 8cm?

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


Perimeter of a semicircle when the Diameter is 8?

Perimeter of a semicircle is the length of the half-circle plus the diameter. The whole circle would have a length of diameter times pi, but since it's only half... Perimeter of semicircle = (1/2*pi*D) + D
