Value of pi = 3.14
Radius of the semicircle = 6 cm
Diameter of the semicircle = 6 * 2 cm
= 12 cm
Perimeter of a semicircle = pi * Diameter *(1/2)
= 3.14 * 12 * 1/2
= 3.14 * 6
= 18.84 cm
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the perimeter of the semicircle in question is 18.84 cm. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your desired help.

Located on the basilar membrane are(is) the <u>organ of Corti</u><u> </u>containing hair cell sensory receptors for the sense of hearing.
The organ of Corti is also called basilar papilla which is a complex form of neuroepithelium composed of hair cells sensory receptors and supporting cells. In addition to these sensory and supporting cells, the organ of Corti also consists of a tectorial membrane. Endolymph which is a potassium-rich fluid surrounds the organ of Corti. The organs known as scala tympani and scala vestibule are present under and above the basilar papilla respectively.
The function of the organ of Corti is to generate electrical signals based on the sounds and transmit these signals to the brainstem through the passage of auditory nerves.
