To find the radius of a circle when you know its circumference, you can use the formula for the circumference of a circle:

\[
C = 2\pi r
\]

where \(C\) is the circumference and \(r\) is the radius.

Given that the circumference \(C\) is \(36\pi\) feet, we can set up the equation:

\[
36\pi = 2\pi r
\]

Next, we can divide both sides by \(2\pi\):

\[
\frac{36\pi}{2\pi} = r
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
\frac{36}{2} = r
\]

\[
r = 18
\]

So, the length of the radius of the circle is \(18\) feet.

The correct answer is **18 ft**.
