Understanding the Area of a Semicircle

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a semicircle. It begins by introducing the formula for the area of a semicircle, which is half the area of a full circle, or (1/2)πr². The video provides two examples: one using a given radius and another using a given diameter. The first example calculates the area with a radius of 4 feet, resulting in 25.13 square feet. The second example uses a diameter of 14 centimeters, converting it to a radius of 7 centimeters, and calculates the area as 76.97 square centimeters. The video concludes with a preview of upcoming content on finding the perimeter of a semicircle.
