Question 1020253: A circular garden with a radius of 8 feet is surrounded by a circular path with a width of 3 feet.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Find the area of the garden
+ path.
Total radius = 11 feet.
Area = Pi x r^2
Area = Pi x 11^2
Area = Pi x 121
Area = 379.94 ft^2
Area of garden
Area = Pi x r^2
Area = Pi x 8^2
Area = Pi x 64
area = 201.06 ft^2
379.94 - 201.06
= 178.88 ft^2
This is the area of the path alone.
Hope this helps :-)
