How much fence is needed to enclose the pool is called the circumference or perimeter of a circle.


c = \pi * {r}^(2)

In this case we got the Diameter which is equal to 2 times the radius

r = 32 / 2 \\ = 16
UNTO THE EQUATION

c = 3.14 * 16 \\ = 50.24ft
Therefore you would need 50.24 feet of wire to fence it!
