Enter a real number.

A semicircle is exactly half of a full circle, so the area is one-half of πr².

Formula

The semicircle area formula is half the area of a full circle.

A = (πr^2) / 2

If you enter a diameter, the calculator halves it first to recover the radius.

How to Use

Select radius or diameter, enter a positive value, and read the live semicircle area.

  1. Choose the measurement you know.
  2. Enter a positive real number.
  3. Read the semicircle area from the result card.

Example

With diameter 120, the radius is 60 and the area is 5654.866778.

That is exactly half of the full circle area 11309.733553.

Notes

The live result means the calculator updates as soon as the radius or diameter changes.

Blank, malformed, zero, and negative inputs are rejected explicitly so the result cannot silently become zero.
