The puppy is tied to a leash that is 3 meters long, so the diameter of the circle the puppy runs in is approximately 6 meters (twice the length of the leash).
The distance around the circle (circumference) can be found by using the formula:
circumference = π x diameter
Plugging in the approximate diameter of 6 meters, we get:
circumference = π x 6 ≈ 18.85 meters
Therefore, the approximate distance the puppy runs in one lap is between 18 and 19 meters (option E).
