ANSWER IN ATTACHMENT
Answer :
Given :
Radius = 14 cm
Required to find :
- Circumference of the semi circular dish
Solution :
In the question it is given that radius of the semi circle is 14 cm .
And he asked us to find the circumference of it.
As we know that
When we draw a diameter in a circle it divides the circle into 2 equal semi-circles.
Hence , from the above statement we can know that
Perimeter of the semi-circle = 1/2 x perimeter of the circle
This is mathematically represented as
perimeter of the semi-circle = 2πr/2
= πr
Hence, using the above mentioned formula we can find the circumference of the semi-circle .
But let's try this with 2 different pi value .
Let's consider the π value = 22/7
Hence,
Circumference of the semi-circle = 22/7 x 14
=> 22 x 2
=>. 44 cm .
However,
Let's now consider the value of π be 3.14
Hence,
Circumference of the semi-circle = 3.14 x 14
===> 43.96 cm
==> 44 cm ( approximately )
Conclusion :
The circumference of the semi-circle is 44 cm .
( you can use any of the given pi(π) value ).
( Tip : Mostly use the 3.14 as the pi value except in some cases )
