Answer 1

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

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter is 5.75 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), the calculation is as follows:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 \]

Now, multiplying:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 = 18.095 \]

Rounding to the hundredths place, the circumference is approximately:

\[ C \approx 18.10 \text{ miles} \]

Thus, the estimated circumference of the circle is 18.10 miles.
