Answer:
C. 179 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of circular path or walkway
= π × (R + r) × width
Where
R= Outer radius
r = Inner Radius
Diameter = 16 feet
Width = 3 feet
Inner Radius = Diameter/2
= 16 feet/2 = 8 feet
Outer Radius = 8 + 3 = 11 ft
Hence:
= π × (11 + 8) × 3
= π × 19 × 3
= 179.07078125 ft²
Approximately = 179 ft²
The area of the circular walkway = 179ft²
Option C is correct.
