Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for circumference

The formula for the circumference of a circle is \(C=\pi d\), where \(d\) is the diameter.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(d = 5.75\) miles and \(\pi=3.14\). Then \(C=3.14\times5.75\).

Step3: Perform the multiplication

\(3.14\times5.75=(3 + 0.14)\times5.75=3\times5.75+0.14\times5.75=17.25+0.805 = 18.055\)

Answer:

\(18.06\) miles
