7.2 pi7.2π cm

Explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

Circumference = 2 xx pi xx RadiusCircumference=2×π×Radius
or
Circumference = pi xx DiameterCircumference=π×Diameter

You're given the diameter, so we can use the second formula.
Circumference = 7.2 piCircumference=7.2π cm

Your class might use different approximations for piπ, such as 3.143.14 or 22/7227. Make sure to use them if you have to.
