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 4.5 miles and using \(\pi \approx 3.14\):
\[ C = 3.14 \times 4.5 \]
Calculating this:
\[ C = 14.13 \text{ miles} \]
Thus, the estimated circumference of the circle is 14.13 miles.
