Question

A circular path runs around a circular plot. If the circumference of the plot and the path are 44 m and 88 m, respectively, find the width of the path.​

Answer 1

Answer: let us consider the radius of the bigger circle to be R

radius of the smaller circle= r

circumference of bigger circle = 2πR= 88m⇒ equation 1

circumference of smaller circle = 2πr = 44m⇒equation 2

width of path = R-r

equation 1 - equation 2= 2π( R - r) = 44

⇒ 2 * 22/7(R-r)=44

⇒(R-r) = 7m
