You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the distance around the barbecue pit = the circumference of the pit
the formula for circumference = 2PIr where r is radius and PIis 3.14
So the 'r' here = 1 mtr. (Half of the diameter)
= the circumference = 2*PI*1
= 2*3.14*1
= 6.28 meters. Answer.
Before solving any problem you must read and understand what is asked. Then
apply the formula and find the solution.
