Answer:

<h2>69.124 yards of rope</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of flat shapes, circles.

given that the members of the community used rope as outline for the circular shape mural.

we can tell that the perimeter of the mural is same as the perimeter of the rope.

Hence the length of rope used is same as the perimeter of the circular mural.

we know that the perimeter of a circle is given as

$C=2\pi r\\\\$

substituting radius r= 11 yards

we have

$C= 2*3.142*11\\\\C= 69.124 yards$
