Author Hans G. Oberlack

Shows the largest semicircle within a square.

General case

[edit]

Segments in the general case

[edit]

0) The side length of the square:
1) Radius of the semicircle see Calculation 1

Perimeters in the general case

[edit]

0) Perimeter of base square
1) Perimeter of the semicircle

Areas in the general case

[edit]

0) Area of the base square
1) Area of the semicircle , see Calculation 2

Centroids in the general case

[edit]

Centroid positions are measured from the centroid point of the base shape.
0) Centroid position of the base square:
1) Centroid position of the semicircle: , see Calculation 3

Measured from point the positions are:
0) , see Calculation 4
1) , see Calculation 5

Normalised case

[edit]

In the normalised case the area of the base is set to 1.

Segments in the normalised case

[edit]

0) Segment of the base square
1) Segment of the semicircle

Perimeters in the normalised case

[edit]

0) Perimeter of base square
1) Perimeter of the semicircle
S) Sum of perimeters

Areas in the normalised case

[edit]

0) Area of the base square
1) Area of the semicircle

Centroids in the normalised case

[edit]

Centroid positions are measured from the centroids of the base shape
0) Centroid positions of the base square:
1) Centroid positions of the semicircle:

Distances of centroids

[edit]

The distance between the centroid of the base element and the centroid of the quarter circle is:

Identifying number

[edit]

Apart of the base element there is only one shape allocated. Therefore the integer part of the identifying number is 1.
The decimal part of the identifying number is the decimal part of the sum of the perimeters and the distances of the centroids in the normalised case.



So the identifying number is:


Calculations

[edit]

Known elements

[edit]

Base is the square of side length .
This means that the following equations hold
(0.1)
(0.2), applying the Pythagorean theorem to the triangle
For the semicircle the following equations hold:
(0.3)


Calculation 1

[edit]

In order to find the radius of the semicircle the following calculations have to be done:

Considering the square We get the equation:
(1)


Since the rectangle is a square with side length . This leads to the equation:
(2)

The line segment is the diameter of the semicircle and has the length: . The line segment has length . For symmetry reasons the line segment has the same length, so . Using the Pythagorean theorem we get equation:
(3)





Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the triangle we get the equation
(4)
applying equation (3)




Now we use this result together with equations (1) and (2).







Calculation 2

[edit]

a semicircle has half the area of a circle





Calculation 3

[edit]

If the center of the radius of the semicircle were positioned on and the diameter were parallel to the y-axis then the centroid position would be
.




, applying equation (4)
, since is the centroid of the square and its diagonale







, definition of S_0

Calculation 4

[edit]

,since is the center point of the square


Calculation 5

[edit]
