The circumference of the circle is approximately
.
The circumference
of a circle is given by the formula:
![\[ C = 2 \pi r \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/ricflfoenzo07gzxi5o52xpskzyyrewgp4.png)
where:
-
is the circumference,
-
is a constant (approximately 3.14159),
-
is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius
of the circle measures 3 ft, you can use the formula to find the circumference:
![\[ C = 2 \pi * 3 \, \text{ft} \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/cqb5gcp62m7menhkyqlprzvlasa3p5qokm.png)
![\[ C \approx 6 \pi \, \text{ft} \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/lcxapfkqog47t6ngrquwwnwzitcpcaneik.png)
If you want a numerical approximation, you can substitute the value of
(approximately 3.14159) into the equation:
![\[ C \approx 6 * 3.14159 \, \text{ft} \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/wi3qmtz6vsqgh74weinlu5wuudawwxh5gs.png)
![\[ C \approx 18.84954 \, \text{ft} \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/1bbbw2p437yrujh4dx7swslwyptuhi49px.png)
