diameter of 12 inches, then it's length is given by
length = 2*pi*r
= 2*pi*(12/2)
= 37.68 inches
Since there were 9 candles and t were distributed across the edge of the cake in equal spaces, then we need to take the length of the circle and divide it by the number of candles.
space = length / candles = 37.68 / 9 = 4.19 inches
The candles were 4.19 inches apart.
