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. Given that the diameter \( d \) is 3.25 meters and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), you can calculate the circumference as follows:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 3.25 \]

Calculating that:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 3.25 = 10.245 \]

When we round 10.245 to the hundredths place, it becomes 10.25 meters. Since 10.25 meters is not one of the options listed, it might imply there was a misunderstanding in listing the options or viewing the rounding.

However, if we round it down based on options:

  • The closest estimate to the hundredths among the options provided would be 10.22 meters.

So, the answer is:

10.22 meters.
