PLEASE HELP!...WILL MEDAL AND FAN)))) Using 𝑑 to represent the diameter of the circle, write an algebraic equation that will result in the perimeter of a semicircle.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

1. Find the radius of the circle. It's half the diameter. Express the radius in terms of d. 2. Find the circumference of the circle, in terms of d. 3. Write the formula for the perimeter of a semi- or half-circle. a) not including the diameter b( including the diameter, d

Do you know what is the formula for the length of a circle?

OpenStudy (john_es):

If r is the radius of the circle, the length L of a circle is\[L=2\pi r\]

OpenStudy (john_es):

Or you can rewrite this as\[L=\pi 2 r\]

OpenStudy (john_es):

You know that the diameter is d=2r, so how would you express now the length of a full circle in terms of d?

OpenStudy (john_es):

Well, you can rewrite it as \[L=\pi d\] And now, you can calculate the length l of the half circle, \[l=L/2=\pi d/2\] And this is the answer.
