The formula for the circumference of a circle is $${\mathtt{C}} = {\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{r}}$$

If the radius is 3 feet, the problem would look like this:

$${\mathtt{C}} = {\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\mathtt{3}}\right)$$

After that, you can multiply the numbers:

$${\mathtt{C}} = {\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3.14}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3}}$$

$${\mathtt{C}} = {\mathtt{18.84}}$$

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 18.84 feet.
