A semicircle is half of a circle. It is a two-dimensional figure obtained when a circle is cut into two halves. Its shape consists of an arc and a segment.
The radius of a semicircle is defined as the distance from the midpoint of the segment to any point of the arc.
The perimeter of a semicircle with radius r is the length of the segment plus half the circumference of a circle with radius r. The area of a semicircle with radius r is half the area of a circle with radius r.
| Perimeter | Area |
