The area (in m2) of a circular path of uniform width x metres surrounding a circular region of diameter d metres is _____. |
$πx(x + 2d)$ $πx(x + d)$ $πx(2x + d)$ $πx(x + \frac{d}{2})$ |
$πx(x + d)$ |
We know that, Area of path = π(R2 – r2) According to the question, Radius of circular region (r) = d/2 Width of path = x m External radius of path (R) = d/2 + x We know that, Area of path = π(R2 – r2) = π[(d/2 + x)2 – (d/2)2] = π [d2/4 + x2 + dx – d2/4] = π [x2 + dx] = πx (x + d) |
