To find the circumference of a circular swimming pool with a given diameter, follow these steps:
1. Identify the given values:
- Diameter ([tex]\(d\)[/tex]) of the pool is 22 feet.
- We'll use [tex]\(3.14\)[/tex] as an approximation for [tex]\(\pi\)[/tex].
2. Recall the formula for circumference:
The formula to calculate the circumference ([tex]\(C\)[/tex]) of a circle is:
[tex]\[
C = \pi \times d
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
C = 3.14 \times 22
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
C = 69.08 \text{ feet}
\][/tex]
5. Round to the nearest whole number:
- The decimal part of 69.08 is 0.08, which is less than 0.5.
- Therefore, we round down.
[tex]\[
C \approx 69 \text{ feet}
\][/tex]
So, the circumference of the circular swimming pool, rounded to the nearest whole foot, is 69 feet.
