Let us consider a semicircle ABC
Perimeter of semicircle will be the distance around it
So,
Perimeter of semicircle = ๐r + 2 r
= r(๐ + 2)
Let us take an example:
Find perimeter of a semicircle with radius of 2 cm
Radius = r
= 2 cm
Perimeter of semicircle = r (๐ + 2)
= 2 (3.14 + 2)
= 2 (314/100+2)
= 2 ((314 + 2 × 100)/100)
= 2 ((314 + 200)/100)
= 2 (514/100)
= 1028/100 = 10.28 cm
