A circular garden with a radius of 8 feet is surrounded by a circular path with a width of 3 feet. What is the approximate area of the path alone? Use3.14 in terms of pie

179 square feet (  approximate )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A circular garden with a radius of 8 feet is surrounded by a circular path with a width of 3 feet.

Question asked:

What is the approximate area of the path alone? Use 3.14 in terms of pie.

Solution:

First of all we will find area of circular garden and then combined area of garden and path and then subtract the garden area from combined area.

Radius, r of circular garden = 8 feet

Combined radius, R = Radius of circular garden + width of path

                                 = 8 + 3 = 11 feet

Now, area of the path = Combined area - Garden area

                                    = 379.94 - 200.96

                                    = 178.98 square feet

Therefore, the approximate area of the path alone is 179 square feet.

the answer would be 0.54
