a semicircle is half of a circle... so like a circle cut in half, in a straight line. just for some information you may also need in the future: area of a semicircle: multiply the radius by itself...
The area of a semicircle is half of the area of a circle. The area of a circle is pi x radius x radius. So the area of a semicircle is 1/2 x pi x radius x radius or (pi x radius x radius) / 2.
