Find the area of the semicircle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:
452.39
Step-by-step explanation:
area of circle = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
area of semi circle is [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex] divided by 2 (because a semi circle is half of a circle)
diameter = 2 x radius, and radius = half of diameter
so
radius = 24 / 2 = 12
[tex]12^{2}[/tex] x π = 452.389342
to nearest hundredth = 452.39
Hope this helps. If you need any further explanation, let me know!

Answer:
266.19 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf Area\:of\:a\:circle=\pi r^2[/tex] (where r is the radius of the circle)
As a semicircle is half a circle
[tex]\implies \sf Area\:of\:a\:semicircle=\dfrac12\pi r^2[/tex]
From inspection of the diagram, we can see that the diameter (the widest part of a circle) is 24 in.
[tex]\sf Radius\:of\:a\:circle\:(r)=\dfrac12diameter[/tex]
Therefore, the radius of the circle = 24 ÷ 2 = 12 in
Substitute r = 12 into the equation for the area of a semicircle:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Area\:of\:a\:semicircle & =\dfrac12\pi 12^2\\ & =\dfrac12 \cdot \pi \cdot 144\\ & = 72\pi \\ & = 266.19\: \sf in^2 \:(nearest\:hundredth)\end{aligned}[/tex]
