The most commonly used equation for circumference is
C=2πr. Where c is the circumference, π is pi (or 3.14159...), and r is the
radius.
In your equation, you are given diameter. Remember
that the radius is half of the diameter. So, in this case, the radius, r, is half of 6,
or 3 meters.
Now, substitute the radius into the equation
for circumference, and you get:
C=
2π(3)
= approximately 18.84
meters
What you know have found is the distance
around the circle.
