Smaller circle C is inside larger circle C. The smaller circle is labeled the garden. The radius of the smaller circle is 8 feet. The distance from the rim of the inner circle to the rim of the outer circle is 3 feet.
A circular garden with a radius of 8 feet is surrounded by a circular path with a width of 3 feet.

What is the approximate area of the path alone? Use 3.14 for Pi.

172.70 ft2
178.98 ft2

Outer radius = 8 + 3 = 11. Area of path = π(11^2 − 8^2) = 3.14(121 − 64) = 3.14(57) = 178.98 ft².

Answer: 178.98 ft².
