Question

The area of a semicircle is 0.5652 square inches. What is the semicircle's diameter? Use 3.14 for a inches Submit can you explain

Answer 1

Given :

The area of semicircle is given as 0.5652 sq.inches.

To find:

The diameter of semicircle which is denoted as d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of semicircle is given as

`A=(\pi r^2)/(2)`

The relation between radius and diameter is

`d=2r`

Now substitute the given area in the area of semicircle formula.

`0.5652=(3.14* r^2)/(2)`
`r=\sqrt[]{(2*0.5652)/(3.14)}=\sqrt[]{0.36}`
`r=0.6in`

The semicircle diameter is determined as

`d=2r\Rightarrow2*0.6=1.2in`

Answer:

Hence the diameter of semicircle is determined as 1.2 in.
