Answer:

( About ) 88 inches

Explanation:

Considering this wire fence to be the circumference of the base of this apple tree, provided it is circular, let us solve for the amount of fencing given the radius of this circle is 14 inches;


Radius Of Circle - 14 inches,\\Diameter - 14 inches * 2 = 28 inches,\\Circumference - 2\pi r, r = radius,\\\\2\pi r - \pi d, d = diameter,\\\\Circumference Of Circle - \pi * ( 28 inches ) = ( About ) 88 inches\\Length Of Fencing = ( About ) 88 inches

Length of Fencing rounded to 10th place, ( About ) 88 inches
