These are my results:

$Version
5.2 for Microsoft Windows (June 20, 2005)

x[t_]:=a Cos[t];y[t_]:=a Sin[t];

The length of the semicircunference is:

In[]: Integrate[Sqrt[1+(y'[t]/x'[t])^2)]*x'[t],{t,0,Pi}]
Out[]: -a*Pi

The length total is:
In[]: Integrate[Sqrt[1+(y'[t]/x'[t])^2)]*x'[t],{t,0,2Pi}]
Out[]: 2*a*Pi


$Version
6.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (June 19, 2007)

x[t_]:=a Cos[t];y[t_]:=a Sin[t];


The length of the semicircunference is:

In[]: Integrate[Sqrt[1+(y'[t]/x'[t])^2)]*x'[t],{t,0,Pi}]
Out[]: -a*Pi

The length total is:


In[]: Integrate[Sqrt[1+(y'[t]/x'[t])^2)]*x'[t],{t,0,2Pi}]
Out[]: 0
All my calculations  stored in my computer are false?. I have to review
them. It means that 3000 manhours to the sea.
