To find the circumference of a circle when given the diameter, you can use the formula:
Circumference = π * diameter
Given that the diameter is 17 ft, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Circumference = π * 17 ft
Now, you need to calculate the circumference using an approximate value for π. The approximate value of π is usually taken as 3.14 for most calculations:
Circumference ≈ 3.14 * 17 ft
Circumference ≈ 53.38 ft
Therefore, the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 17 ft is approximately 53.4 feet when rounded to the nearest tenth.
