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.
