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.

The equation for area of a circle is A=pi x R x R. A semicircle is half a circle, so we calculate the area of a circle and divide by 2. The area of the circle would be approximately 1384.74. Thus the area of the semicircle would be 692.37.

In a semicircle, the diameter is the straight line. It is also equal to double the radius, and that property allows it to be used when calculating area and circumference.
Needs more information!
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.
