Um… That part is concave so adding material (area) decreases circumference.
Suit circumference I think means “of the entire suit”. Its a weird way to say it but in the context they’re using it, it makes sense.
The entire suit is 3D, in which case it makes more sense to talk about surface area, but that is measured in cm². The “circumference” must apply to the “sail” shadow.
