A circular park having a radius of 14 m. If a 3.5 m wide path is built around it, what is the area of the path? [Take π=227\pi=\frac{22}{7}]

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 346.5 m2.

Outer radius = 14 + 3.5 = 17.5 m

Area of larger circle = (22/7) × (17.5)2 = 962.5 m²

Area of original park = (22/7) × (14)2 = 616 m2

Area of path = 962.5 - 616 = 346.5 m2`
