A circle is two semicircles put together. The circumference of a circle is the length around it, so half of that would be what you are aiming for. Let's call the circumference "c" and the radius (the straight part of the semicircle) "r". Pi is also needed in this problem, so we can use "π". The equation for the circumference of a circle is c=2πr. Replace "r" with the length of the straight part of the circle, and do the math. Divide your answer by 2.
Example:
r=2
c=2πr
c=2π2
c=4π
c=(approximately)12.57
12.57 divided by 2 equals approximately 6.29.
The length of the curved part of the semicircle is 6.29!
Hope this helps!
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.
The perimeter of a semicircle consists of the curved part and the straight diameter. The curved part can be calculated using the formula for the circumference of a full circle, which is (C = 2\pi r). For a semicircle, it would be (\pi r), so for a radius of 7 cm, the curved length is ( \pi \times 7 \approx 21.99 ) cm. Adding the diameter (which is (2r = 14) cm), the total perimeter is approximately (21.99 + 14 = 35.99) cm.
Work out the circumference of the circle and then divide it by 4
The straight edge of the semicircle is the diameter, which measures 10 cm. The radius is half of the diameter, so it is 5 cm. The perimeter of the semicircle includes the curved part plus the diameter: the curved length is (\pi \times r), which is (\pi \times 5 = 5\pi) cm. Therefore, the total perimeter is (5\pi + 10) cm, approximately (10 + 15.71 = 25.71) cm.
The circumference of a semicircle can be calculated using the formula ( C = \pi r + 2r ), where ( r ) is the radius. For a semicircle with a radius of 3, the curved part of the semicircle is ( \frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi r = \frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi \times 3 = 3\pi ). The straight edge adds another ( 2r = 2 \times 3 = 6 ). Thus, the total circumference is ( 3\pi + 6 ).
The length of the curved part of the semicicle is π*d/2 where π is the transcendental number approximated by 3.14159 and d is the diameter. The length of the straight part of the semicircle is, of course, d.

At the center of the semicircle, the electric field due to the straight part of the rod will cancel out because of the symmetry. The electric field at the center of the semicircle is only due to the curved part, so you can treat the semicircle as an arc of a circle with charge distributed along its length. You can then calculate the electric field using the formula for the electric field of a charged arc of a circle.

It could be a sector although that implies that (a) the curved side is part of a circle which it need not be and (b) that the two straight lines meet at the centre of the circle - again an assumption not justified by the requirements of the question.
Well, 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.
The length (circumference) of the curved part of a semi-circle is pi times the radius (pi*R). If the diameter is given, then the semi-circle length is 1/2 (pi * x D) because the radius is 1/2 of the diameter.(There are 2pi radians in a full circle.)A closed shape formed from a semi-circle has a perimeter P = D + (pi * D / 2)(diameter plus the curved part)
If the cylinder has radius R and length L , the curved part of the surface has area 2piRL and each of the ends has area piR^2. The total surface area is the sum of the curved part plus two ends.
Semi means part of. So semi circle is part of a circle.
The circumference of a semicircle can be calculated using the formula ( C = \pi r + 2r ), where ( r ) is the radius. For a semicircle with a radius of 3, the curved part of the semicircle is ( \frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi r = \frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi \times 3 = 3\pi ). The straight edge adds another ( 2r = 2 \times 3 = 6 ). Thus, the total circumference is ( 3\pi + 6 ).
