To find the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:
[tex]\[
C = 2 \pi r
\][/tex]
where [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the circumference, [tex]\( \pi \)[/tex] (pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the radius of the circle. In this problem, we are using [tex]\(\frac{22}{7}\)[/tex] for [tex]\(\pi\)[/tex], which is a common approximation.
Given:
[tex]\[
r = 7 \text{ feet}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\pi = \frac{22}{7}
\][/tex]
Now, substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
C = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7
\][/tex]
First, multiply the constants:
[tex]\[
2 \times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{44}{7}
\][/tex]
Next, multiply by the radius:
[tex]\[
\frac{44}{7} \times 7 = \frac{44 \times 7}{7}
\][/tex]
Since [tex]\(\frac{44 \times 7}{7}\)[/tex] simplifies to 44 (the 7s cancel out):
[tex]\[
C = 44 \text{ feet}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the circumference of the circle is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{44 \text{ feet}}
\][/tex]
So, the correct answer is 44 feet.
