circymfence = pi*2*r
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
where r is radius diameter=2r

use the diameter = 12 feet :)

not quite :)
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
if the diameter is 12
what would the radius be?

im not sure :(
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
radius would be half of the diameter
what is half of 12? :)

6
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
good :)
now plug it into the formula
circumference = (pi) (2) (radius) = ?
