Change the Semicircle into a Normal Circle. Then find the Diameter.

Area of a Circle is A = Π$$r^2$$

Semi Circle = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of a Circle.

So we can multiply the Area by 2 in order to get the Area of a full circle.

Semicircle has an area of $$40Π$$

Circle has an area of 80Π

A = 80Π

r = $$\sqrt{80}$$ = 4$$\sqrt{5}$$

r * 2 = Diameter

4$$\sqrt{5}$$ * 2 = 8$$\sqrt{5}$$
