Answer :
The circumference of a circle is related to its diameter by the formula
$$
C = \pi d.
$$
Given that the circumference is approximately 44 inches, we can solve for the diameter $d$ by rearranging the formula:
$$
d = \frac{C}{\pi}.
$$
Substituting $C = 44$ inches gives
$$
d \approx \frac{44}{\pi} \approx 14.0056 \text{ inches}.
$$
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we find that the diameter is approximately 14 inches.
Thus, the approximate length of the diameter is $\boxed{14 \text{ in.}}$
$$
