Answer:

the circumference of the circle is 24π feet

Explanation:

The area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius. So, if the area is 144π ft^2, we can solve for the radius:

144π = πr^2

r^2 = 144

r = 12

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, so substituting in the value of the radius, we find:

C = 2π * 12

C = 24π
