The distance that the train travels is 18.84 feet

Solution:

Given that,

A play train travels around a Christmas tree in a circle

The train track measures 6 feet in diameter

To find: distance that the train travels

The distance the train travels is equal to the circumference of circle

The circumference of circle is given as:

$C = \pi d$

Where, "d" is the diameter of circle

From given,

d = 6 feet

$C = 3.14 * 6\\\\C = 18.84$

Thus the train travels 18.84 feet
