Answer:

C = 2πr, where C is the circumference, π is the mathematical constant pi (approx. 3.14), and r is the radius (9 inches). Therefore, the circumference of the basketball hoop is 2π(9) = 18π inches.

Explanation:

In other words use C=2*pi*radius to find the circumference, here you are given the radius is 9 so when you plug that in it gives you a circumfrence of 18pi inches. Hope this helps!
