A semicircular pipe has a cross-sectional area of 14.1 cm squared. work out the radius of the pipe.
If it were a round pipe, the Area would be π r2
Since it's a semicircle, the Area equals 1/2 • π r2
A = 1/2 • π r2
14.1 = 1/2 • (3.1416) r2
28.2 = (3.1416) r2
r2 = 28.2 / 3.1416
r2 = 8.9763
r = 2.996 call it 3
