A circular garden has a radius of 7 meters. A path of uniform width 3 meters is built around the garden. What is the area of the path in square meters?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The inner radius is 7m, and the outer radius (garden + path) is 7+3 = 10m. The area of the path is the difference between the areas of the outer and inner circles: π(10^2 - 7^2) = π(100 - 49) = 51π.
