Since it is a square that means each side is equal.
The perimeter is 24, and since there is four sides we would divide it by four to find the length of each side.
24/4 = 6
Each side is 6.
By looking at the picture, one side of the square, is the length of the radius.
The radius of the square is 6.
The only thing left to do is to find the circumference.
The circumference formulas are:
C =
d
C = 2r
We can use the first one Diameter x pi (3.14)
To find the diameter we would just multiply the radius by two.
6 x 2 = 12
Diameter = 12
So multiply it by pi
12 x 3.14 = 37.68
or D 12
