Answer:

226.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The fence around the dog's house is a circle, with a radius of 12 meters.

To calculate the distance the dog runs, we need to find the circumference of that circle, which is given by the formula:

C = 2 π r, since we know r, the calculation is easy:

C = 2  π 12 = 24 π = 75.4 feet.

The dog makes three laps around the circle before calming down... so he runs 3 times 75.4 feet.

Dogs run = 3 x 75.4 ft = 226.2 feet
