Question 1084974: A park has a circular lake 240' in diameter. A walkway 6' wide is around the lake. Determine number of sq. yds. in the walk.
A = area.
240' = 80 yds., 6' = 2 yds.
A = pi(40 + 2)(40 - 2)
A = pi(42)(38)
A = pi(1596)
A = 5013.9936 = 5014 sq. yds.
Area of circle: pi * r^2
Area of lake: pi * 40 * 40 = 5026.56 = 5027 sq. yds.
Area of lake and walk: pi * 42 * 42 = 5541.7824 = 5542 sq. yds.
Area of walk: 5542 - 5027 = 515 sq. yds.
Where am I incorrect. Non-homework. Thanks.

A park has a circular lake ' in diameter.->

then, radius is
area of the lake is

A walkway wide is around the lake;

so, radius of the lake and walkway is
area of the lake and walkway:

area of the walkway alone is:
