"It is surrounded by a pathway of the same width."
-----
Which or what same width? Both "widths" are equal? You did not say, "of uniform width".

If you mean to say this way:
---
park is 200m long and 12m wide.It is surrounded by a pathway of uniform width.
Suppose the total area of the park and the pathway is 25,956m². Find the width of the pathway surrounding the park.
---

Let u be this uniform width for the surrounding pathway.
