You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the formula of circumference to get the radius of the pond,
C=2pi%2AR
68pi=2pi%2AR
R=34ft
So then the path is the region between a circle of radius 38' and a radius of 34'.
A=pi%2A%28R%5B2%5D%5E2-R%5B1%5D%5E2%29
A=pi%2A%2838%5E2-34%5E2%29
A=pi%2A%281444-1156%29
A=288pift%5E2
