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

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

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

Given a diameter of 5.75 miles, and using \( \pi \) as 3.14, you can calculate the circumference as follows:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 \]

Now let's perform the multiplication:

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

To round this to the hundredths place, you look at the third decimal place (which is 5 in this case). Since it is 5, you round up:

Thus, the estimated circumference is:

18.10 miles.
