Could someone possibly help me with this?

Terri has 19 feet of tape to mark n area in the classroom where the students may read. Which of these shapes has a perimeter or circumference that would use most or all of the tape?
A) Square with side length of 5 feet
B) Circle with the radius of 3 feet
C) Right triangle with each leg length of 6 feet
D) Rectangle with a length of 8 feet and a width of 3 feet

Answer 1

your answer for this would be D I believe

Answer 2

A 4*5 ft = 20 foot - no good

B circumference of circle = 2* pi *3 = 6 pi = 18.85 ft so this will use a lot of the 19 ft.

C. right triangle triangle - perimeter = 6 + 6 + 6*sqrt2 = 20.49 - no good

D. rectangle perimeter = 16 + 8 = 24

Answer is choice B
