Answer: 24pi centimeters

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

If the circumference is r = 12 cm, then the diameter is double that at d = 2*r = 2*12 = 24 cm.

This then leads to the circumference of C = pi*d = pi*24 = 24pi

This is exact in terms of pi. Replace pi with something like 3.14 to find its approximate value. The circumference is the distance around the circle's edge, aka perimeter.
