Understanding Circle Geometry

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a semicircle and the arc length of a partial circle. It begins by reviewing the formula for the area of a circle and applies it to find the area of a semicircle, given a radius of two. The tutorial then shifts to finding the arc length of a partial circle, which is three-fourths of the circumference, using a radius of four. The instructor provides step-by-step calculations and explanations for both problems, emphasizing the use of Pi and the relationships between radius, area, and circumference.

What is the formula for the area of a full circle?

• Pi * diameter

• 2 * Pi * radius
