Question:

A circular park whose diameter is 210 m has a 5 m wide path running around it (on the outside). What is the area (in m2) of the path?

Options:

1100π

1050π

1075π

1020π

Correct Answer:

1075π

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of circle = πr2

Area of path = π(R2 – r2)

Diameter = 210

Then the radius of park (r) = 105

Combine radius  (R) = 105 + 5 = 110

= π (1102 – 1052)

= π(110 + 105) (110 – 105) = 215 × 5 × π = 1075 π
