The Answer & Explanation: Keys: C=Circumference D=Diameter R=Radius 3.14=pi How to find the circumference: D=21 Divide that by 2 = 10.5 The formula for the circumference of a circle is \[2\times3.14\times r\] Plug in the numbers: \[2\times3.14\times10.5\] Which equals 65.94 Then, we have to multiply that by 3. So, 65.94 x 3 = 197.82 Which is our answer.
