The area of a circle is the product of the square of the radius squared and the number pi. The area of a semicircle is half the area of the corresponding circle. The diameter is twice the radius. Therefore, the area of this semicircle is pi(15/2)2/2 = 8 X 101 square feet, to the justified number of significant digits -- only one, since the value 6 has only one. At 6 square feet of mulch per bag, over 13 bags of mulch will be needed; therefore, 14 bags should be available.

What is the length of a semi circle with 10cm diameter Using 3.14 as the pi r square?

-- You do not need the 'square'. You only need the 'pi' and the diameter. -- The circumference of a circle is (pi) x (diameter). -- Is it really necessary to go further and point out that the length of a semicircle is 1/2 of that ?

What is the area of the semi circle 30 feet?

Is the 30ft the radius or the diameter. The area of a circle = Pi x (radius squared), so, if the diameter is 30ft, making the radius 15ft, the area would be Pi x(15 squared) square feet, and the area of its semicircle would be half of that, so the area required = Pi x (15 squared) divided by 2 = 353.429 sq ft On the other hand, if the diameter is 15ft, making the radius 7.5ft then the area required = Pi x (7.5 squared) sq ft for the full circle and half as much for the semicircle = 88.3573 sq ft As an extra; you will find that the area of the smaller semicircle is exactly one quarter of that of the larger semicircle, and I wonder if you can reason out why that is so.


A Norman window has the shape of a semicircle atop a rectangle so that the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle What is the area of the largest possibe Norman window with?

These windows could get extremely large, but let's play with Andersen Windows' catalog. If you build a Norman window using Andersen's largest semicircle window, which is six feet wide, and their tallest twin double-hung window, which is 6'4" high, you get an area of 52.11 square feet.
