SEMICIRCUMFERENCE Meaning and
Definition
-
Semicircumference is a mathematical term that refers to half of the circumference of a circle or any other curved shape that has a circular arc. It is a measure of the distance around the curved boundary of a circle, starting from any given point on the circle and going halfway around it.
To better understand semicircumference, it is necessary to comprehend the concept of circumference in a circle. The circumference is the total distance around the boundary of a circle or the outer edge of a curved shape. It is found by multiplying the diameter of the circle by pi (∏), which is an irrational number approximately equal to 3.14159.
As the name suggests, semicircumference specifically refers to half of the total distance around a circle. It is equivalent to the measure of the curved boundary of a circle starting from any point on the circle and going halfway around it.
The formula for calculating the semicircumference relies on the formula for circumference, which is C = 2∏r, where C represents the circumference, ∏ represents pi, and r represents the radius of the circle. By dividing this equation by 2, we obtain the formula for semicircumference: S = ∏r, where S represents the semicircumference.
In summary, semicircumference is a term used in geometry to indicate half the distance around the curved boundary of a circle or curved shape, starting from any point on the circle and going halfway around it.

Etymology of SEMICIRCUMFERENCE
The word "semicircumference" is derived from two root words: "semi-", meaning half or partly, and "circumference", referring to the distance around a circle. The prefix "semi-" is derived from the Latin word "semis" meaning half, and it is commonly used in English to denote a half or partial quantity. "Circumference" comes from the Latin word "circumferentia", which is a combination of "circum", meaning around, and "ferentia", meaning bearing or carrying. Therefore, the etymology of "semicircumference" reflects its meaning as a half or partial measurement of the distance around a circle.
