Answer: 15.707 feet of fence.

Explanation: The formula to find this would be the one you'd use to find circumference, which is: C = 2 (Pi) r

Half of the diameter is the radius, so plug that in and it becomes:

C = 2 (pi) 2.5

Then you just solve it and the result is C = 15.707

Answer: The minimum amount of fence Laura will need is 15.70 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to find the circumference of the pond.

The formula for the circumference (C) is:

C = π x d

Where "d" is the diameter.

Replacing with the values given:

C = π x 5 = 15.70ft

The minimum amount of fence Laura will need is 15.70 ft.
