**Problem Statement:**

10. Find the radius of a circle with a circumference of 21.99 feet.

**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, we need to remember the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is given by:

\[ C = 2 \pi r \]

Where:
- \( C \) is the circumference.
- \( \pi \) (Pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
- \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

Given:
- The circumference \( C \) is 21.99 feet.

To find the radius \( r \), we can rearrange the formula to solve for \( r \):

\[ r = \frac{C}{2 \pi} \]

Now, substitute the given circumference into the formula:

\[ r = \frac{21.99}{2 \pi} \]

Perform the calculation (using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \)):

\[ r = \frac{21.99}{2 \times 3.14159} \]
\[ r = \frac{21.99}{6.28318} \]
\[ r \approx 3.50 \]

So, the radius of the circle is approximately 3.5 feet.
