Given:

The area of a semicircle is 0.7693 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius:

Using the area of a semicircle formula,


\begin{gathered} A=(\pi r^2)/(2) \\ 0.7693=(3.14* r^2)/(2) \\ r^2=(0.7693*2)/(3.14) \\ r^2=0.49 \\ r=\sqrt[]{0.49} \\ r=0.7 \end{gathered}

Thus, the radius of the semicircle is 0.7 cm.
