Answer: D. 87.92 in

Explanation:

The hula hoop is a circular shape so assume that this is a circle.

The 14 inches that it measure from the center to the outside is therefore the radius.

The distance around the hula hoop being looked for is the circumference.

Circumference of a circle = 2 × π × radius

= 2 * 22/7 * 14

= 88 inches

Closest answer in options is D. 87.92 inches.
