A semi-circle is drawn with AB as its diameter.
 From C, a point on AB, a line perpendicular to AB is drawn meeting the circumference of the semi-circle at D.
Given that AC = 2 cm and CD = 6 cm,
the area of the semi-circle (in sq. cm) will be:

ans is 50 pi

CD and o, the center of circle forms right angled triangle

with side lengths 6, r, r-2, where r is the center of circle

we get r=10 and area of semicircle as 50pi

50 pi is the ans

we form right angle triangle wtih sides CD and center of cirlce

side lenghts 6, r, r-2

r=10

area = 50pi

let the radius be r and

let the radius be r and center be at o,
then,
in triangle ocd oc= r-2; od= r & cd=6
6^2 + (r-2)^2=r^2
r=8
so, pi r^2= 64 pi
