Hi,
*NOte: the Area of the path would be the difference between the Larger circular area 26Ft in diameter and the area of the garden having the 20 ft in diameter.
.
Area of garden and path
r = 13
pi%2A13%5E2+=+pi%2A169
.
Area of the garden
r = 10
pi%2A10%5E2+=+pi%2A100
.
Area of the path
pi%2A169+-+pi%2A100+=+69%2Api
