1 answer

The formula to calculate the circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by:

\[ C = 2\pi r \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r \) is 2.5 feet and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

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

Calculating it step by step:

  1. Calculate \( 2 \times 2.5 = 5 \).
  2. Now calculate \( 5 \times 3.14 = 15.7 \).

Thus, the estimated circumference is:

\[ C \approx 15.7 \text{ feet} \]

So, the correct response is 15.7 feet.
