Q3 of 31 Page 178

The radius of a semicircular plot is 21 m. Find its area and perimeter.


A semicircle is a half of the circle.


Given that radius of the semicircular plot = 21 m


To find the perimeter of the semicircular plot, we need to find the perimeter of the semicircle and add the diameter of the circle to it.


Diameter = AB = 2×radius = 2× 21 = 42 m


We know that circumference of the circle = 2πr


Perimeter of semicircle = πr


Perimeter of semicircle


Total perimeter of the semicircular plot = 66 +42 = 108 m


Also, the area of a circle = πr2


Area of semicircle


Area of semicircular plot


Area of semicircular plot
