I can’t see the figure you mention. Could you either upload the image or tell me the pool radius and the outer (walkway) radius (or their diameters)?

Once I have those I’ll compute:
- area of walkway = π(R^2 − r^2),
- number of bags = (area of walkway) ÷ 4, rounded up to whole bags.

If you want a quick example: if the pool radius is 7 m and the outer radius is 13 m, walkway area = π(13^2 − 7^2) = π(169 − 49) = 120π ≈ 377, so number of bags ≈ 377/4 ≈ 94.3 → 95 bags. Provide the actual radii and I’ll give the exact answer.
