Answer 1

To find the circumference of a circular stump, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter of the circle.

From your message, the diameter is given as 3.5 feet. Plugging that into the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times 3.5 \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

\[ C \approx 3.14159 \times 3.5 \approx 10.995 \text{ ft} \]

Now, looking at the provided options:

A) 10.99 ft
B) 9.617 ft
C) 38.465 ft
D) 5.495 ft

The closest answer to our calculation of approximately 10.995 ft is:

**A) 10.99 ft**.
