To find the circumference of a circle, you use the formula:
\[ C = 2 \pi r \]
where \( C \) is the circumference and \( r \) is the radius.
Given that the radius \( r = 17 \) cm and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 17 \]
Calculating this step by step:
-
First, calculate \( 2 \times 3.14 \): \[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]
-
Next, multiply \( 6.28 \) by \( 17 \): \[ 6.28 \times 17 = 106.76 \]
Thus, the circumference of the circle is:
\[ \boxed{106.76} \text{ cm} \]
