Question

A circular flower bed is 19 m in diameter and has a circular sidewalk around it that is 4 m wide. Find

the area of the sidewalk in square meters. Use 3.14 for .

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 289

Answer 2

289 m²

Explanation:

First find the area of the flower bed

A=πr²= (3.14)(9.5)² = 283.385

Then get the area of everything including the sidewalk

A=πr²= (3.14)(13.5)² = 572.265

Then subtract and you'll get the area of just the sidewalk

572.265 - 283.385 = 288.88m²
