Option C is correct. To find the area of the path, we first need to find the area of the circular park and then subtract the area of the circular park from the area of the path.
The area of the circular park can be found using the formula:
A = π * r^2
where r is the radius of the circular park.
As we know diameter is 17.5m, radius is half of diameter, so radius of circular park is 8.75m
So,
A = π * (8.75)^2 = 231 sq. m
As we know, diameter of circular park is 17.5m, and width of the path is 3.5m.
so, total width of the path is 17.5+3.5 = 21m
so, area of the path is π*(10.5)^2 = 231 sq. m
Hence, option C is correct.
