Answer:

The length of the steel frame will be approximately 44 feet

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by calculating the circumference of the steel frame. We are working with the fact that the steel frame was welded into a circular shape.

The circumference of the steel frame can be calculated using


circumference = \pi * d

where d diameter of the steel frame = 14 feet


circumference = 3.14 * 14=43.96ft

Therefore, the length of the steel frame will be approximately 44 feet
