Answer 1

Mia needs 37.70 feet of white tape for the circle. None of the given options is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter. In this case, the diameter of the circle is 12 feet, so the circumference is C = π(12) = 37.69911184307752 feet. Therefore, Mia needs 37.70 feet of white tape for the circle. None of the given options is answer.
