Finding the distance around the crater means you want to find the circumference. The equation for finding the circumference of a circle is

C = πd

C = circumference, d = diameter, π = 3.14 (approximately)

Since our diameter is 4,400 feet, we must multiply 4,400 by
π to get our circumference of approximately 13,816 feet

To find the distance around the crater we just multiply the diameter by 3.14

Soo..
4,400 x 3.14 = 13,816

So the distance around the crater is 13,816 feet
