Answer:

31.4

Explanation:

To find circumference, the formula is A=pi*r^2. The radius is 1/2 the diameter. The radius of the donut is 3.5. 3.5^2 is 12.25. Pi is approximately 3.14, so 12.25*3.14 is 38.465. The donut hole takes away from the circumference, so we have to subtract the circumference of the donut hole from the donut. 1.5^2 is 2.25, and 2.25*3.14 is 7.065. 38.465-7.065 is 31.4. The circumference of the circle is 31.4.

Hope this helps!
