The area of just the pond only is exactly \"pi%2Ar%5E2+=+pi%2A10%5E2+=+100pi\" square feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The radius of pond + the path is 10+2 = 12 ft, so the area of the pond+path is is exactly \"pi%2Ar%5E2+=+pi%2A12%5E2+=+144pi\" square feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of just the path only is equal to the difference of the two areas: \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of Path DISABLED_event_Only= (Area of Pond+Path) - (Area of Pond Only)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of Path DISABLED_event_Only= \"144pi+-+100pi\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of Path DISABLED_event_Only= \"44pi\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The exact area of the path only is \"44pi\" square feet. If you use the decimal approximation of \"3.14\" for \"pi\", then the approximate area of the path is \"44pi=44%2A3.14=138.16\" square feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Keep in mind that \"pi\" goes on infinitely in terms of the decimal expansion. So use more decimal digits of \"pi\" to get a more accurate picture of the approximate area.\r
