Answer:

About 72.3 feet

To be exact: The distance around the pool is 23π feet

Explanation:

The question asks for the distance around the pool.

What does that mean?

It sounds similar to circumference of the circle shaped pool.

So, use the formula: C = (pi)*d

C = (pi) * 23 feet

C = 3.1415926 * 23 = 72.256 feet (approximately)
