Suppose a model of the Olympic rings is constructed and each circle has a radius of 6 feet. What is the amount of rope used in the construction of the model of five rings? Explain how you solved the problem. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Suppose a model of the Olympic rings is constructed and each circle has a radius of 6 feet. What is the amount of rope used in the construction of the model of five rings? Explain how you solved the problem. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
There are five rings, or circles, so you have to find the total of the circumferences of all of them.
C = π d
C = 3.14 • 12 ft
C = 37.68 ft that's one circle
Total = 5 • 37.68 ft = 188.40 ft
