Answer:

179 sq feet

Explanation:

What is the approximate area of the walkway?

area of walkway = area of walkway + fountain - area of walkway

Area of a circle = πr²

Where : = π = pi = 22/7

R = radius

radius of the fountain = 16/2 = 8

area of walkway + fountain = (22/7) x (8 + 3)^2 = 380.3

area of fountain = 22/7 x 8^2 = 201.1

area of walkway = 179
