Given:
The radius of the circle is 2 1/2 ft.
To find:
The circumference of the circle
Explanation:
Using the formula of the circumference of the circle
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]On substitution we get,
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times2\frac{1}{2} \\ =2\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{5}{2} \\ C=\frac{220}{14}ft \\ C=\frac{110}{7}ft \\ C=15\frac{5}{7}ft \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The circumference of the circle is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{110}{7} \\ (or) \\ 15\frac{5}{7}ft \end{gathered}[/tex]In decimal,
[tex]C\approx15.71ft[/tex]
