Working

The circumscribed circle of a semicircle shares its radius: R = 5

Notes

  • · A semicircle's circumscribed circle shares the same radius: R = radius.

Semicircle Circumradius Calculator — How It Works

The circumradius (R) is the radius of the circle that passes through all the key points of a shape — its circumscribed circle. The Semicircle Circumradius Calculator calculates this for a semicircle from the radius. Try the Semicircle Circumradius Calculator — instant results, no sign-up.

The formula

R = radius (the circumscribed circle shares the semicircle's radius)

Example

For a semicircle with the radius = 5:

R ≈ 5

A note on “circumradius” for this shape

For shapes that aren’t always cyclic (have a circle through every vertex) in their general form — like a rhombus, parallelogram, or trapezoid — this calculator applies the standard circumradius formula for the cyclic case (e.g. assuming a rectangle for parallelograms, or an isosceles trapezoid). For squares, regular polygons, semicircles, and sectors, the circumradius is well-defined for every such shape.
