What is the approximate distance around the half circle with radius 12 centimeters?


A.

18.8 centimeters


B.

37.7 centimeters


C.

75.4 centimeters


D.

150.7 centimeters

Verified Answer :

You can find the perimeter of a circle by using the radius.
circumference = 2 \(\pi r\)
Circumference = 2 \(\pi x 12\)
circumference = 24 pi
Since you are only trying to find half of the circle you would divide your answer by 2 

24pi / 2 = 12 pi

12 pi = 37.68

The answer is B. 37.7
