The circumference of a circle is calculated by multiplying the diameter by pi (π).

Circumference = diameter * π

Given that the diameter is 5.75 miles and we are using an estimate of π as 3.14, we can calculate the circumference:

Circumference = 5.75 miles * 3.14

Circumference = 18.055 miles

Therefore, the approximate circumference of the circle is 18.055 miles, rounded to the hundredths place.
Incorrect.
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's recalculate it correctly.

The formula for calculating the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C represents the circumference and d represents the diameter.

Given that the diameter of the circle is 5.75 miles and we will estimate π to be 3.14, we can substitute these values into the formula:

C = πd
C = 3.14 × 5.75
C ≈ 18.095

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is approximately 18.10 miles when rounded to the hundredths place.
