Question

The radius of a garden that is in the shape of a circle
is 35 m. There is a path of uniform width of 7 m all
around and outside the garden. What is the area of
the path (in m?)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the circular garden =

2

210

=105m

Radius of the region covering the garden and the path =105m+7m=112m

Area of the region between two concentric circles

with radius of outer circle R, and inner circle r =π(R

2

−r

)

Hence, the area of the path =π(112
