Answer:

Option A:
(56.52)/(18)

Explanation:

Circumference of a circle is given by the formula
C = πd

where d = diameter of the circle

Given
C = 56.52

d= 18 feet

56.52= 18π


\pi = (56.52)/(18)

This is option A

If you were every in doubt about the correct answer, all you have to know is that the value of π = 3.14

C and D have ratios less than 1

B has a ratio of approx 6

A has a ratio close to 3
