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

How do you find the perimeter of a shape that has a semicircle?

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.


How do find the circumference of a recttangle and semicircle put together?

If the semicircle is placed on 1 side of the rectangle:Find the total perimeter(circumference) of the side opposite to the one with the semicircle's base and the 2 sides perpendicular to the semicircle's base.The formula for circumference of a circle is 2πr.Thus for the semicircle we will take the circumference as πr.Find the sum of 1st and 2nd points. This is the final answer.


What is the formula for a semi-circle?

There is no formula for a semicircle. There is a formula for the perimeter of a semicircle, a different formula for the area of a semicircle, and another one to generate a semicircle in the Cartesian plane. You must specify which of these you want a formula for. Also, there may be additional information that is required to put the formula in the context of the available information. For example, the formula for the area will differ depending on whether you know the length of the straight side or the semi-circular arc.


How do you find the perimeter of a semicircle if its diameter is 45 cm?

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


The radius of the semicircle is 5 feet and the dimensions of the rectangle are 10 ft by 16 ft The semicircle is attached to the width of it What is the perimeter?

Perimeter = (2*pi*5*1/2)+10+16+16 = 57.70796327 or 58 feet
