Given:

The plastic lid of a cylindrical container is a circle.

The lid has a diameter of 12 centimeters.

so, d = 12 cm

We will find the circumference of the lid

We will calculate the circumference using the following formula:

$circumference=\pi d$

Substitute d = 12 and π = 3.14

so, the circumference will be as follows:

Rounding to the nearest tenth

So, the answer will be circumference = 37.7 cm
