Answer:

18 feet

Explanation:

The distance of the center of the fountain from the enter edge is equal to the radius of the circular fountain.

Use the circumference formula, c = 2
$\pi$ r, to find the radius.

c = 2
$\pi$ r

112 = 2
$\pi$ r

18 = r

So, to the nearest whole number, the distance between the center of the fountain and outer edge is 18 feet.
