Answer:

The answer is
$32 \pi\ feet$ or
$100.53\ feet$

Explanation:

we know that

To calculate how much fence is needed to enclose the circular pool, find the circumference of the circular pool

The circumference of a circle is equal to

$C=\pi D$

where

D is the diameter of the circle

In this problem we have

$D=32\ feet$

Substitute

$C=\pi (32)=32 \pi\ feet$

$C=32 \pi\ feet=100.53\ feet$
