Follow these steps to make a semicircle:

1.

Make sure that Snap to Objects is turned on and draw a circle. Also draw a vertical line that is much taller than the circle.

2.

Double-click the center of the circle to select the line and the fill and then click and drag from the center of the circle so that you get the solid ring near your cursor. Snap the center of the circle to the line.
