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

\[ C = 2\pi r \]

where \(C\) is the circumference, \(\pi\) is approximately 3.14, and \(r\) is the radius.

Given that the radius \(r\) is 2.5 feet, we can substitute that into the formula:

\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2.5 \]

Calculating this:

\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2.5 = 15.7 \]

Thus, the circumference of the circle is approximately 15.7 feet.

The correct response is:

15.7 feet
