Question

A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4 m wide. The diameter of the flower bed is 66 m. What is the area of this path? (π = 3.14)

Answer 1

Radius of flower bed = 33 m

Radius of flower bed and path together = 33 + 4 = 37 m

Area of flower bed and path together = 3.14 × 37 × 37 = 4298.66 m²

Area of flower bed = 3.14 × 33 × 33 = 3419.46 m²

Area of path = Area of flower bed and path together − Area of flower bed

= 4298.66 − 3419.46 = 879.20 m²
