Question

A circular path 4 feet wide has an inner diameter of 250 feet. How much farther is it around the outer edge of the path than around the inner edge? Round to nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.

The outer edge of the path is ??? feet farther around than the inner edge.

Answer 1

50.24 ft

Explanation:

diameter = 250 ----- radius = 125 (radius of the smaller circle)

125+4 = 129 ( radius of the bigger circle)

129-125 = 4

4² x pi = 16x 3.14 = 50.24

Answer 2

25.13

Explanation:

the inner circle is 1570.8 and the outer is 1595.93

Hope this helps! :)
