Semi circles can be described using several synonyms, including half-moon, arc, crescent, and hemicircle. A half-moon is an exact representation of a semi circle, with one side flat and the other side curved. An arc is a curved segment of a circle, while a crescent is a shape with a curved edge that faces inwards. Finally, a hemicircle is a geometric shape that is half of a circle and consists of only one curved edge and one straight edge. All of these synonyms are useful in describing semi circles and can be used interchangeably depending on the context in which they are being used.
