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 17 cm and substituting \( \pi \) with 3.14, we can calculate the circumference:
\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 17 \]
Calculating this step by step:
- Calculate \( 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \)
- Then multiply by 17:
\[ C = 6.28 \times 17 = 106.76 \]
Thus, the circumference of the circle is:
\[ \boxed{106.76} \text{ cm} \]
