A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4 meter wide.
the diameter of the flower bed is 66 meter.
What is the area of this path?
:
The radius of the flower bed = 33m, (half the diameter)
The radius of the overall area = 37m (plus the width of the path)
:
The equation
path area = overall area - garden area
Pa = pi%2A37%5E2 - pi%2A33%5E2Pa
Pa = 4300.84 - 3421.19
Pa = 879.6 sq meters is the area of the path
