Problema Solution

A circular flower bed is 24 m in diameter and has a circular sidewalk around it that is 2 m wide. Find the area of the sidewalk in square meters

Answer provided by our tutors

The area of the sidewalk = The total area - The area of the flower bed

The area of the sidewalk = ((24/2)+2)^2pi + (24/2)^2pi

The area of the sidewalk =14^2pi + 12^2pi

The area of the sidewalk = (196 - 144)pi

The area of the sidewalk = 52pi (pi = 3.14)

The area of the sidewalk = 163.28 m^2
