Answer:

Find the circumference,

C = 2πr

Where 'π' is pi (3.14 or 22/70, and 'r' is the radius.

To find the radius of a diameter, you must the half of the diameter:

Diameter/2 = radius

6/2 = 3 is the radius.

Plug this into our formula;

C = 2πr

C = 2 x 3.14 x 3

C = 6.28 x 3

C = 18.84 feet.
