16\text{ }\pi\text{ y}

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

the area of a circle is given by:


\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_c=\pi r^2 \\ \text{where r is the radius} \end{gathered}

so, the area of teh walkway will be the difference of areas


\begin{gathered} A_(walkway)=A_{entire\text{ circle}}-Area_(pool) \\ \text{replace} \\ A_(walkway)=\pi(y+4)^2-\pi(y-4)^2 \end{gathered}

Step 2

expand the polynomius:


\begin{gathered} A_(walkway)=\pi(y+4)^2-\pi(y-4)^2 \\ A_(walkway)=\pi(y^2+8y+16)^{}-\pi(y^2-8y+16) \\ A_(walkway)=\pi(y^2+8y+16)^{}-\pi(y^2-8y+16) \\ A_(walkway)=\pi(y^2+8y+16-(y^2-8y+16)) \\ A_(walkway)=\pi(y^2+8y+16-y^2+8y-16)) \\ A_(walkway)=\pi(16y) \\ \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


16\text{ }\pi\text{ y}

I hope this helps you
