Answer

(a) $\approx 0.8~miles$ (b) $C\approx 13,031~feet$ (c) $C\approx 2.5~miles$

Work Step by Step

(a) We convert feet to miles: $4150~feet*\frac{1~mile}{5280~feet}\approx 0.8~miles$ (b) We know that the circumference of a circle is given by the formula: $Circumference=\pi~diameter$ $C=\pi *4150~feet\approx 13,031~feet$ (c) We repeat part (b) with miles: $C=\pi *0.8~miles\approx 2.5~miles$
