The diagram shows four circles equal spaced around another circle, with the centre on each outer circle on the circumference of the centre circle. What is the perimeter of the shape?

The triangle formed by the points ADB is equilateral, as are the triangles BEC, DCF and ADG. The point ABCD forms a square, so the angles DBE, ECF, FDG and GAD are all equal to  
\[360-90-2 \times 60=150\]
  degrees.
The perimeter of the shape is then  
\[4 \times \frac{150}{360} \times 2 \pi \times 6= 20 \pi\]
