Answer:

11/21 yards

Explanation:

The circumference is the distance around the circle. It relates the number of times the diameter will encircle the circumference as 3.14 or π. As a result, the formulas for the circumference of a circle are C = 2πr or C = πd. Here the diameter is 1/6 and pi is written as a fraction 22/7. Substitute these two values and simplify the formula C = πd.


C = \pi d\\C = (22)/(7)*(1)/(6)  \\C = (22)/(42)\\C = (11)/(21)
