Sagot :

Given -

  • the diameter of a semicircle is 6 yards.

ie. d = 6yd

ps - use 3.14 for a

To find -

  • the semicircle's perimeter

Solution -

As we know the formula to find the perimeter of the semicircle is 2r + πr.

But A.T.Q we are only provided with the diameter. As we know that the radius is half of the diameter. ie, r = d/2.

Hence, d = 6

r = 6/2

r = 3 yd

Perimeter of semicircle = 2r + πr

Perimeter of semicircle = 2(3) + 3.14(3)

Perimeter of semicircle = 15.42 yd

Hence forth the semicircle's perimeter is 15.42 yd

Question -:

The diameter of a semicircle is 6 yards. Find the perimeter of the semicircle?

Explanation -:

Given :

  • Diameter of the semicircle

Need to find :

  • Perimeter

Solution :

[tex] \small \blue {\underline {\underline{{ \orange{\rm{ First \: we \: need \: to \: calculate \: the \: radius \: of \: the \: semicircle }}}}}}[/tex]

We know,

[tex] \large \star \: \: \large \underline{\boxed{ \rm{ Radius = \dfrac{Diameter}{2}}}}[/tex]

[tex] \small\rm{ Radius = \dfrac{6}{2} = 3 \: yards}[/tex]

[tex] \small{ \underline{ \underline{\rm \red{ Now \: we \: will \: calculate \: the \: perimeter \: of \: the \: semicircle }}}}[/tex]

We know,

[tex] \large\star \: \: \large \underline{\boxed{ \rm{ Perimeter_{(semicircle)} = πr + 2r}}}[/tex]

Where,

  • r stand for radius
  • Assuming π as 3.14

Substituting the values we get

[tex] \small\bf{ Perimeter_{(semicircle)} = 3.14 × 3 + (2 × 3)}[/tex]

[tex] \small\rm{ Perimeter_{(semicircle)} = 9.42 \: + 6}[/tex]

[tex] \small\boxed{ \rm{ Perimeter_{(semicircle)} = 15.42 \: yards}}[/tex]
