The extra amount of string required is therefore 2pi times the additional height, in this case 2pi feet.

They way I see it, you need to find the radius first.
25,000= pi*2*r
Or
12,500=pi*r
Or
r= 3,980.81
Thend find new circumference by adding new radius, whice would be 1ft extra.
2 * pi * 3981.81= c
Or
6.28*3981.81
C= 25,005.7
My answer is 6 whole feet.
What am i missing?
