The perimeter of a semi circle is 144 cm then the radius is_________?
Correct answer: B. 28 cm
- A. 25 cm
- B. 28 cm
- C. 30 cm
- D. 35 cm
Explanation
The perimeter of a semicircle includes its curved part and diameter, so P = πr + 2r. Thus 144 cm = (22/7 + 2)r, giving r = 144 cm ÷ (36/7) = 28 cm. The likely wrong choice is 30 cm, which comes from rough estimation or using an incorrect semicircle-perimeter formula.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
