A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4m wide. The diameter of the flower bed is 66m . What is the area of the path?
radius of flower bed= 66 / 2 = 33m
Radius of flower bed and path together = 33 + 4 = 37 m
Area of flower bed and path together = 3.14 * 37 * 37
                                                               = 4298.66 m2
Area of flower bed = 3.14 * 33 *33 = 3419.46 m2
Area of path = Area of flower bed and path together - Area of flower bed
                       = 4298.66 - 3419.46 = 879.20 m2
