1 answer

To find the circumference \( C \) of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \pi \cdot d \]

where \( d \) is the diameter of the circle.

Given that the diameter \( d \) is 5.75 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the circumference:

\[ C = 3.14 \cdot 5.75 \]

Now, let's perform the multiplication:

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

Rounding this to the hundredths place, the circumference is:

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

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