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
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.
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.
Half the Circumference + the DiameterCircumference of a circle = pi X d ,so perimeter of a semi-circle = (3.142 X Diameter) + Diameter
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
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
The answer will depend on what measure of the semicircle is 5 inches: its radius or diameter.
To find the perimeter of the curved section of the semi-circle: Perimeter of semicircle = Pi x radius If you also need to the find the perimeter of the straight part of the semicircle (the diameter), it is simply double the radius.
It is its diameter plus half of its circumference
If you are given the diameter 'D' of the circle: the full circumference is (pi times D) the perimeter of the semicircle is half this plus the diameter Therefore: Pi x D /2 + D
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 = Circumference/2+Diameter Perimeter = (pi*14)/2+14 = 35.99114858cm or 36cm correct to two significant figures.
circumference or perimeter of the semi-circle = (diameter*pi)/2 + diameter
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.

Perimeter of the semicircle including its base: 180/360*pi*45+45 = 115.686 cm rounded to 3 decimal places
