What is the best approximation for the perimeter of a semicircle with a diameter of 12 cm?
Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

A. 18.84 cm
B. 30.84 cm
C. 61.68 cm
D. 75.36 cm

PLEASE HELP!

First, we know that the equation for permeter of a circle is C=2*pi*4 or C=2*3.14*r if you are using 3.14 for pi. Since this is a semicircle, we simply divide this equation by 2 and plug in our radius (radius id 6 because 12/2 =6)

So we are using C=3.14*r
C=3.14*6
So the perimeter equals 18.84 so A

Hope this helps!

To find the circumference of a circle, we use this formula: C = (2)(pi)(r)

We'll use 3.14 for pi. And the radius is one half of a diameter.

C = (2)(3.14)(6) = 37.68

Then because we want the perimeter of a semi-circle, we half it.
37.68 / 2 = 18.84
