Sunny is standing still, holding the end of a 15-inch rope, while her horse runs in a circle around her. How far does the horse run to complete one circle around Sunny?

How do I set this up?
The horse's path is a circumference.
C = pi * d
C = 3.14 * 30
Thank you.
You're welcome.
To set up this problem, we need to consider the circumference of the circle the horse runs around Sunny. The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = 2πr, where C represents the circumference and r represents the radius of the circle.
In this case, Sunny is holding the end of a 15-inch rope, which we can consider as the radius of the circle. So, the radius (r) is 15 inches.
To find the distance the horse runs to complete one circle around Sunny, we need to find the circumference (C) of the circle.
Using the formula C = 2πr and substituting the value of r as 15 inches, we can calculate the circumference:
C = 2π(15 inches)
Now, let's calculate the circumference of the circle.
