Algebra.Com's Answer #191730 by edjones(8007)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a semi-circle is pi*d/2 + d \n" ); document.write( "The perimeter has 2 parts: the circular part which is 1/2 the circumference of a circle and a flat part which is the diameter of the circle. \n" ); document.write( "pi*d/2 + d=20 \n" ); document.write( "pi*d+2d=40 \n" ); document.write( "d(pi+2)=40 \n" ); document.write( "d=40/(pi+2) \n" ); document.write( "r=20/(pi+2) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "A=(pi*r^2)/2 \n" ); document.write( "=pi*(20/(pi+2))^2/2 \n" ); document.write( "=pi*(400/(pi+2)^2)*1/2 \n" ); document.write( "=200pi/(pi+2)^2 or 23.77 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " |
