Answer:

150.72 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the shaded area, calculate the area of the smaller (white) circle and subtract it from the area of the larger circle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Formulae

  • Area of a circle = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
  • Circumference of a circle = [tex]2\pi r[/tex]

(where [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the circle)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Area of large circle

Given:

  • circumference = 50.24 m
  • [tex]\pi[/tex] = 3.14

⇒ 50.24 = 2 × 3.14 × r

⇒ r = 8 m

Therefore:

⇒ Area = 3.14 × 8²

             = 200.96 m²

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Area of small circle

Given:

  • circumference = 25.12 m
  • [tex]\pi[/tex] = 3.14

⇒ 25.12 = 2 × 3.14 × r

⇒ r = 4 m

Therefore:

⇒ Area = 3.14 × 4²

             = 50.24 m²

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Area of shaded path

area = area of large circle - area of small circle

        = 200.96 - 50.24

        = 150.72 m²
