To find the perimeter of a semicircle, you need to add the curved edge (half the circumference of a full circle) to the diameter of the semicircle. The formula for the circumference of a full circle is C = πd, where d is the diameter. Therefore, the circumference of the full circle is π(8) = 8π cm. The perimeter of the semicircle would be half of the circumference of the full circle plus the diameter, so it would be 4π + 8 cm, or approximately 20.28 cm.

ReneWell, darling, the perimeter of a semicircle is the sum of the semicircle's curved edge (half the circumference of a full circle) and the diameter. So, with a diameter of 8cm, the curved edge would be half of the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 8cm, which is 8π cm. Add that to the diameter, and you get a sassy perimeter of 8π + 8 cm, or approximately 33.13 cm.
Ah, what a lovely question! To find the perimeter of a semicircle, you'll need to add the curved part (half the circumference of a full circle) to the diameter of the semicircle. Since the diameter is 8cm, the radius is half of that, which is 4cm. The perimeter would then be half the circumference of a full circle (pi times the diameter) plus the diameter, giving you a total of 4π + 8 cm.

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
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
If diameter is 7 find perimeter of semi circle?
Pi times the diameter gives you the circumference. Then divide that answer by two. Then add in the diameter - and, voila, you have your answer as to the perimeter of a semicircle.
What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a semicircle?
Half the Circumference + the DiameterCircumference of a circle = pi X d ,so perimeter of a semi-circle = (3.142 X Diameter) + Diameter
What is the perimeter of a semicircle with 28mm as diameter?
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
