-------------------------
The area of the path is the area of the outside circle, minus the area of the inside circle (called an annulus).
The inside circle is the pool, radius r. The outide circle has a radius of r+2.
Area outside =
Area inside =
AO - AI =
=
=
--------
For r=2.5:
= pi*(10 + 4)
= 14*pi
=~ 43.98 sq meters
