Convert circle to half circle

Learn how to convert 1 circle to half circle step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c i r c l e) = x (h a l f c i r c l e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(r a d i a n)

Left side: 1.0 (c i r c l e) = 2.0 \times π (r a d i a n) = 2.0 \times π (r a d)

Right side: 1.0 (h a l f c i r c l e) = π (r a d i a n) = π (r a d)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c i r c l e) = x (h a l f c i r c l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.0 \times π \times (r a d i a n) = x \times π \times (r a d i a n)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.0 \times π \cdot (r a d) = x \cdot π \cdot (r a d)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.0 \times π \cdot (r a d) = x \times π \times (r a d)

Conversion Equation

2.0 \times π = x \times π

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

π \times 2.0 = x \times π

Simplify

2.0 = x

Switch sides

x = 2.0

Solve

x

x = 2

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c i r c l e) = 2 (h a l f c i r c l e)
