Answer is choice B: the circumference of a circle is the same as perimeter and is defined by πd (or pi times diameter) We can cut this in half because we are working with a semicircle: so we have 6π which approximates to the value in answer when using 3.14 for pi Woops: forgot to add the diameter of 12 so we would have 30.84
