Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = πd

where C is the circumference, d is the diameter, and π is approximately 3.14.

In this case, we are given the circumference of the rug, which is 25.12 feet. So we can plug that value into the formula and solve for the diameter:

25.12 = 3.14d

d = 25.12 ÷ 3.14

d ≈ 7.99

Rounding the diameter to the nearest whole number, we get:

d ≈ 8

Therefore, the rug's diameter is approximately 8 feet.
