1. What is Arc Length of Semicircle?

The arc length of a semicircle is the distance along the curved part of the semicircle. It represents half the circumference of the full circle from which the semicircle is derived.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( l_{Arc} \) — Arc Length of Semicircle (m)
• \( A_{Circle} \) — Area of Circle of Semicircle (m²)
• \( \pi \) — Archimedes' constant (approximately 3.14159)

Explanation: This formula calculates the arc length of a semicircle based on the area of the full circle from which the semicircle is cut.

3. Importance of Arc Length Calculation

Details: Calculating arc length is important in geometry, architecture, and engineering for determining curved distances and designing circular structures.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the area of the full circle in square meters. The value must be positive and valid.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the relationship between circle area and semicircle arc length?
A: The arc length of a semicircle can be derived from the area of the full circle using the formula \( l_{Arc} = \sqrt{A_{Circle} \times \pi} \).

Q2: How is this formula derived?
A: Starting from the circle area formula \( A = \pi r^2 \), we solve for radius \( r = \sqrt{A/\pi} \), then calculate semicircle arc length \( l_{Arc} = \pi r = \pi \sqrt{A/\pi} = \sqrt{A \pi} \).

Q3: Can this calculator be used for semicircles from different circles?
A: Yes, as long as you input the area of the full circle from which the semicircle is derived.

Q4: What are the units for the result?
A: The result is in meters, matching the input units (square meters for area gives meters for length).

Q5: Is this formula accurate for all circle sizes?
A: Yes, this formula is mathematically precise and works for circles of any size, from microscopic to astronomical scales.
