The approximate circumference of the path Round to the nearest hundredth is 93.12 feet.

<h3>What is circumference of circle?</h3>

A circle's outside boundary is called the circumference and can be measured, or calculated, by using

Circumference = 2πr

where r is the radius of circle.

Now it is given that,

circumference of pond = 68 feet

⇒ 2πr = 68

⇒ r = 34/π

⇒ r = 10.82 feet

Now it is also given that, The outer edge of the path is going to be 4 feet from the pond all the way around

⇒ Radius of path, R = r + 4

⇒ Radius of path, R = 10.82 + 4

⇒ R = 14.828

So,circumference of the path = 2πR

⇒ circumference of the path = 2π*14.828 = 93.119 feet

⇒ circumference of the path Round to the nearest hundredth = 93.12 feet

Thus, the approximate circumference of the path Round to the nearest hundredth is 93.12 feet.
