Answer:

Circumference of the circle is, 88 ft

Explanation:

Circumference of the circle(C) is given by:

$C=2 \pi r$

where, r is the radius of the circle.

As per the statement:

A contractor is building a circular swimming pool. The radius of the circle 14 feet.

⇒r = 14 feet

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

$C=2 \cdot (22)/(7)\cdot 14$

⇒
$C=2 \cdot 22 \cdot 2$

⇒
C=88 ft

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is, 88 ft
