Take into account that the perimeter of a circle is its circumference, which is given by:

C = 2πr

where r is the radius of the circle. For a semicircle, the perimeter is:

C' = 2πr/2 = πr

the radius of the given semicircle is:

r = d/2 = 20 cm/2 = 10 cm

replace the previous value of r into the formula for C':

C' = π(10 cm) = 10 π cm this is the perimeter of the given figure
