Answer: Circumference is 132 inches.

Step by step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be calculated with the formula:


\begin{gathered} C=2\pi r \\ C=\text{circumference} \\ r=\text{radius} \end{gathered}

The diameter is twice the radius, diameter = 2*r


\begin{gathered} r=(diameter)/(2) \\ r=(42)/(2)=21in \end{gathered}

Then the circumference is:


\begin{gathered} C=2*\pi*21 \\ C=131.95in \end{gathered}
