Answer: area of the path alone is 178.98 ft²
Explanation:
Since the circular garden is surrounded by a circular path, two circles are formed.
The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as
Area = πr²
Where
r represents the radius of the circle.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
Considering the circular garden,
Radius = 8 ft
Area = 3.14 × 8² = 200.96 ft²
Considering the circular garden and the circular path together,
Radius = 8 + 3 = 11 ft
Area = 3.14 × 11² = 379.94 ft²
Area of the path alone is the circular garden and the circular path together - area of circular path
It becomes
379.94 - 200.96 = 178.98 ft²
