What is a circle?

It is a locus of a point drawn at an equidistant from the center. The distance from the center to the circumference is called the radius of the circle.

A circular patio has a diameter of 12 feet.

Then the radius (r) will be

[tex]\rm r = \dfrac{diameter}{2}\\\\r = \dfrac{12}{2}\\\\r = 6[/tex]

Holly is stringing lights around the edge of the patio will be

[tex]\rm Circumference = 2 \pi r\\\\Circumference = 2*3.14 *6\\\\Circumference = 37.68 \ \ ft[/tex]

Thus, the Holly is stringing lights around the edge of the patio is 37.68 feet.
