To find the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ C = 2\pi r \]
where \( C \) is the circumference and \( r \) is the radius.
Given that the radius \( r \) is 14 inches, you can substitute this value into the formula:
\[ C = 2\pi (14) \] \[ C = 28\pi \]
Now, using the approximate value of \( \pi \) (3.14), we can calculate:
\[ C \approx 28 \times 3.14 = 87.92 \]
Rounding 87.92 to the nearest tenths place gives:
\[ \text{Circumference} \approx 87.9 \text{ inches} \]
Thus, the circumference of the circle is approximately 87.9 inches.
