To calculate the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ C = 2\pi r \]

where \( C \) is the circumference, \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14, and \( r \) is the radius.

Given that the radius \( r = 2.5 \) feet:

\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2.5 \]

Calculating this:

\[ C = 6.28 \times 2.5 \] \[ C = 15.7 \text{ feet} \]

So, the estimated circumference of the circle to the tenths place is 15.7 feet.
