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? |
1100π 1050π 1075π 1020π |
1075π |
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 |
