Answer: The area of the walkway is 3,454 square ft
Step-by-step explanation: The diameter of the ice rink is given as 100 ft, which makes the radius 50 ft (radius = diameter/2, i.e 100/2 = 50).
Hence the area of the ice rink would be
Area of a circle = pi x radius^2
Area of a circle = 3.14 x 50^2
Area of a circle = 7850
The area of the ice rink is 7,850 square ft.
The walkway around the ice rink is 10 ft wide. So the radius of the ice rink plus the walkway is derived as 50 plus 10, which equals 60 ft. Hence the area all around the ice rink including the walkway is now,
Area = pi x radius^2
Area = 3.14 x 60^2
Area = 11304 square ft
The area of the walkway is now given as;
Area = 11304 - 7850
Area = 3454
Therefore the area of the walkway around the ice rink is 3,454 square ft
