Question

The circumference of a given circular park is 55 m. It is surrounded by a path of uniform width 3.5 m. Find the area of the path.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let `r` be the radius of the circular park. Circumference = 2πr ⇒ 2πr = 55 ⇒ 2 x x r = 55 ⇒ x r = 55 ⇒ r = ⇒ r = ⇒ r = ⇒ r = 8.75 m Radius of outer park = radius of park + width of the path = 8.75 \+ 3.5 m = 12.25 m Area of the path = Area of outer park \- Area of circular park = π (12.25)² \- π (8.75)² m² = 150.0625π \- 76.5625π m² = 73.5 π m² = 73.5 x m² = 10.5 x 22 m² = 231 m² Hence, the area of the path is 231 m².
