Perimeter and Circumference of Semicircles

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the perimeter of a semicircle. It begins with an introduction to the problem and the components of a semicircle, including its arc and base. The tutorial then details the process of calculating the arc length by using the circumference of a full circle and dividing it by two. Finally, it combines the arc length with the base to find the total perimeter, providing a step-by-step guide to solving the problem.
