The perimeter of a circle is PI*diameter.

Half that is PI*diameter/2

Now add the straigh edge, diameter.

Viola, you have it.
what do u mean add the straight edge im still a bit confused
The formula for circumference (perimeter) of a circle is
C = pi * diameter

C = 3.14 * 20
C = 62.8 m

For a semicircle's perimeter, divide the circumference in half and add 20.
A semicircle has a straight edge.
