Take the knife tool as shown in the earlier image, and place it on the guide line above your eclipse, then slice right through it, which should leave you with two semi-circles, delete the right hand one by highlighting it and hitting delete.
Create another eclipse with dimensions of 150x150 and place it at 150 - 150 and placement of XY 125 - 50, copy and paste that eclipse and move it one side for the moment.
