The upper semicircle ABCD has radius R=2 and area and the lower semicircle AD has radius r=1 and area . The whole fugure area is . The perimeter consists of upper semicircle length, lower semicircle length and CD length. and the perimeter
<span>The area is 5</span>π<span>/2 in</span>²<span> and the perimeter is 3</span>π+2<span> in.
Explanation: The area of a circle is given by the formula A=</span>π<span>*r</span>²<span>. The top part of the figure is half a circle that has a radius of 2; this means the area would be A=(1/2)</span>π<span>*2</span>²<span> = (1/2)</span>π<span>*4 = 2</span>π<span>.
The bottom part of the figure is half a circle with a diameter of 2; since the diameter is twice as long as the radius, this means the radius is 2/2 = 1, and the area would be A=(1/2)</span>π<span>*1</span>²<span> = 1/2 </span>π<span>.
Adding these, we have 2 1/2 </span>π<span>, which can be written as 5</span>π<span>/2.
The perimeter of a circle is the circumference, which is given by the formula C=</span>π<span>*d. The top part has a radius of 2, so the diameter is 2*2=4; this makes the circumference C=1/2(</span>π<span>)(4) = 2</span>π<span>.
The bottom part has a diameter of 2, which makes the circumference C=1/2(</span>π<span>)(2) = 1</span>π<span>.
Together this gives us 3</span>π. <span> We also must add the length of CD to this; CD=2, which gives us 3</span>π+2<span>.</span>
