You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area of a circle = \"pi+%2A+r%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the area of just the walk around the fountain, you need to find the total area of the larger cirlce and then subtract the area of the inner circular fountain.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Diameter of the inner circle = 12.5ft
\n" ); document.write( "The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius of the inner circle is 6.25ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of the inner circle = \"pi+%2A+6.25%5E2+=+122.72ft%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the radius of the larger circle is the 6.25ft + 5ft = 11.25ft
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the outter circle = \"pi+%2A+11.25%5E2+=+397.61ft%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The surface are of just the walk = \"397.61ft%5E2+-+122.72ft%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "The surface are of just the walk = \"highlight%28275ft%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
