Detailed Solution

A semicircle is exactly half of a circle. A straight line drawn through the centre of the circle divides the circle into two equally sized halves. All points on a semicircle must be at fixed distances from the centre of the circle, which is equal to the radius of the original circle.

Hence, the half of a circle is called a semicircle.
