To find the distance around a circular fountain, you need to calculate the circumference of the circle. The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is:
\[
C = \pi \times d
\]
where \( d \) is the diameter. In this case, the diameter of the fountain is 20 ft.
Substituting the diameter into the formula:
\[
C = \pi \times 20 \, \text{ft}
\]
Using the approximation \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[
C \approx 3.14 \times 20 \, \text{ft} \approx 62.8 \, \text{ft}
\]
Thus, the distance around the fountain is closest to **62.8 feet**.
\[
