Is it correct to say that the middle school semicircle is an arc?
That's right. According to the definition of semicircle in the first volume of ninth grade mathematics of Teaching Press, two endpoints of a circle with any diameter divide the circle into two arcs, and each arc is called semicircle. By definition, a semicircle is an arc. The semicircle should be separated from the semicircle: the semicircle is just an arc. It's a half circle. A semicircle consists of half a circle and a diameter, and the center of the circle is the center of its concentric circle. It has only one diameter, but there are countless radii and an axis of symmetry.
