To find the length of the glitter tape, we need the circumference of the candle. We can find this using the formula 2
\pir = C. (r stands for radius.) We can plug in 4 for the radius to get 2
\pi*4 = C. Then we can simplify by multiplying 2 by 4 to get 8.
Therefore the answer is 8
\pi. If you want the numerical answer, it's 25.1327412.
