A circular pond is

    \[17.5\]

m is of diameter. It is surrounded by a

    \[2\]

m wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of Rs

    \[25\]

per

    \[{{m}^{2}}\]

Solution:

Given Diameter of the circular pond =

    \[17.5\]

m

Let us consider r be the radius of the park =

    \[(17.5/2)\]

m =

    \[8.75\]

m

Given The circular pond is surrounded by a path of width

    \[2\]

m.

So, Radius of the outer circle = R =

    \[(8.75+2)\]

m =

    \[10.75\]

m

We know that Area of the road = Area of the outer circular path – Area of the circular pond

=

    \[\pi {{r}^{2}}-\pi {{R}^{2}}\]

=

    \[3.14\times {{(10.75)}^{2}}-3.14\times {{(8.75)}^{2}}\]

=

    \[3.14\times ({{(10.75)}^{2}}-{{(8.75)}^{2}})\]

=

    \[3.14\times ((10.75+8.75)\times (10.75-8.75))\]

=

    \[3.14\times 19.5\times 2\]

=

    \[122.46\]

m2

Hence, the area of the path is 122.46

    \[{{m}^{2}}\]

Now, given Cost of constructing the path per

    \[{{m}^{2}}\]

 = Rs. 25

So, cost for constructing

    \[122.46\]

    \[{{m}^{2}}\]

 of the path = Rs.

    \[25\times 122.46\]

= Rs.

    \[3061.50\]
