On a typical NBA basketball court, the center circle has an area of 36π square feet. What is the circumference, in feet, of this center circle? Express your answer in terms of π.

12π ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the radius of the circle by using this equation: πr²

πr² = 36π

Divide both sides by π

πr²/π = 36π/π

r² = 36

Square root both sides to isolate the variable, r

√r² = √36

r = 6

Radius is 6

Now we find the circumference using this equation: 2πr

2π(6) = 12π

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2
