Calculate the area of the
shape drawn below.
5 cm
Give your answer in terms of π

To find the area of a semicircle, you can use the formula:
Area = (π * radius^2) / 2
Given that the diameter is 5, the radius would be half of that, so radius = 5 / 2 = 2.5.
Now plug the radius into the formula:
Area = (π * 2.5^2) / 2
Area = 3.125π
