A right angle triangle will fit into a semicircle.
The semicircle of Pythagoras refers to a geometric representation of the Pythagorean theorem, where a right triangle is inscribed in a semicircle. The diameter of the semicircle serves as the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the two other sides are the legs. According to the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, which holds true in this geometric configuration. This visual representation highlights the relationship between the triangle's dimensions and the properties of circles.
It is a plane figure, for example, a semicircle, a triangle, a kite.
A quarter of a whole circle or half a semicircle
Calculating the radius of a semicircle depends on what information about the semicircle is given.
A semicircle means a half circle.
Diameter of semicircle = 1 Area of semicircle = Pi/8 Area of triangle = 0.25 Area outside triangle = (Pi/8) - 0.25 = 0.1427 (rounded to 4th decimal).
All triangles inscribed in a semicircle with one side of the triangle being the diameter of the semicircle are right triangles.

90
A quarter of a whole circle or half a semicircle
Yes. It follows from one of the circle theorems which states that the angle subtended in a semicircle is a right angle.
An angle inscribed in a semicircle is called a right angle. According to the inscribed angle theorem, any angle formed by two points on the circumference of a semicircle, with the vertex at the circle's center, measures 90 degrees. This property holds true for any triangle inscribed in a semicircle, confirming that the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle.
No, a semicircle is not a quadrilateral
Semicircle
The possessive form is semicircle's.
