Acircular 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? use 3.14 for . 172.70 ft 2 178.98 ft 2 200.96 ft2 379.94 ft2

2.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a circular garden with a radius of 8 feet is surrounded by a circular path with a width of 3 feet.

We will use area of circle formula to find the approximate area of path.

, where r represents radius of circle.    

We can see from our given attachment that area of circular path will be equal to area of bigger circle minus area of smaller circle.

So we can set an equation as:

Therefore, area of circular path is 178.98 square feet and 2nd option is the correct choice.
