Question:

The area (in m2) of a circular path of uniform width x metres surrounding a circular region of diameter d metres is _____.

Options:

$πx(x + 2d)$

$πx(x + d)$

$πx(2x + d)$

$πx(x + \frac{d}{2})$

Correct Answer:

$πx(x + d)$

Explanation:

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)
