yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to check if the circle with a circumference of 15 feet is smaller then 7 feet. If so it possible.

Formule for circular circumference = pi * diameter, which should be 15.

So pi * d = 15

There fore d = 15/pi

d = 4.77464829275686 feet, which is smaller then 7 feet, so it will fit easilly.
