You have a circle inside a circle.
\n" ); document.write( "The inner circle has area =(pi)r^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "r^2=16/(pi)
\n" ); document.write( "r=4/sqrt(pi)
\n" ); document.write( "The outer circle has radius \"8+[4/sqrt(pi)]
\n" ); document.write( "The whole outer circle has area (pi)[8+4/sqrt pi]^2
\n" ); document.write( "=pi[64+(64/sqrt pi) + (16/pi)]=64pi +64 sqrt pi + 16
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the inner area from the whole area to get the
\n" ); document.write( "area of the garden, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "64pi+64sqrt(pi)+16 - 16 = 64pi+64sqrt(pi) is the area of the garden.
