00:00 Calculate the area of the semicircle
00:03 The diameter of the circle according to the given data
00:06 The radius of the circle equals half the diameter
00:09 Let's calculate the radius
00:13 We'll use the formula for calculating circle area
00:17 We'll substitute the radius value and solve for the area of the entire circle
00:20 This is the area of the entire circle, divide by 2 to find the semicircle area
00:28 And this is the solution to the problem

Understand the problem

Given the semicircle:
141414
What is the area?

2

Step-by-step solution

Formula for the area of a circle:

S=πr2 S=\pi r^2

We complete the shape into a full circle and notice that 14 is the diameter.

A diameter is equal to 2 radii, so:r=7 r=7

We replace in the formula:S=π×72 S=\pi\times7^2

S=49π S=49\pi
