If the perimeter of a semicircle is 36 cm, then find its area (in $$cm^{2}$$)
Let radius of semi circle = $$r$$ cm
=> Perimeter of semi circle = $$\pi r+2r=36$$
=> $$r(\frac{22}{7}+2)=36$$
=> $$r(\frac{22+14}{7})=36$$
=> $$r=36\times\frac{7}{36}=7$$ cm
$$\therefore$$ Area of semi-circle = $$\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2$$
= $$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(7)^2$$
= $$11\times7=77$$ $$cm^2$$
