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
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
In a circle of radius, r, perimeter of quadrant = pi*r/2 + 2r = r*(pi/2 + 2)
If you the radius of the circle is r then the perimeter of a quadrant = r*(2 + pi/2).
Perimeter (or circumference) of a circle = pi x diameter = pi x 28, but we need the circumference of only half of it (semicircle is half of a circle) Hence the answer is pi x 14 = 3.1415 x 14 = 43.981 mm
