Ex 9.2, 13 A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4 m wide. The diameter of the flower bed is 66 m. What is the area of this path? (π = 3.14) Area of path = Area of larger circle − Area of smaller circular flower bed
Let’s find radius of larger and smaller circle
Smaller circle
Diameter of flower bed = d = 66 m
Radius of flower bed = 𝐷𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟/2
= 66/2 = 33 m
Larger circle
Radius of larger circle = Radius of flower bed + Width of path
= 33 + 4
= 37 m
Area of Larger circle
Area of Larger circle = 𝜋r2
= 𝜋 (37)2
= 1369𝜋 cm2
Area of smaller circle
Area of smaller circle = 𝜋r2
= 𝜋 (33)2
= 1089𝜋 cm2
Now,
Area of path = Area of larger path − Area of smaller flower bed
= 1369𝜋 − 1089𝜋
= (1369 − 1089) 𝜋
= (280) × 3.14
= 280 × 314/100
= 28 × 314/10
= 8792/10
= 879.2 m2
Therefore, Area of path is 879.2 m2
