Area of fountain only:
A = pi*r^2
A = pi*5^2
A = 25pi
----------------------
Area of fountain+walkway
A = pi*r^2
A = pi*8^2
A = 64pi
---------------------
Area of walkway only
A = (Area of fountain+walkway) - (Area of fountain)
A = 64pi - 25pi
A = 39pi
So the area of the walkway only is exactly 39pi square feet. This is approximately 39pi = 39*3.14159 = 122.52201 square feet
