So as the path adds an extra 2 feet to each side I would start this by adding two feet to each part (so 25+2 x 38+2) which leaves you with 27ft by 40ft. Multiply to find this total area, which results in 1080. Now, you want to remove the actual area of the garden itself as this is not part of the path. So 25x38=950. Subtract 1080 by 950. This gives you just the area of the gardens path which would be 
Answer:
area of the figure: 29.92 m²
formula's:
- area of rectangle: length * width
- area of sector: ∅/360 * πr²
solving steps:
area of rectangle + area of sector
5.5 * 4 + 30/360 * π(5.5)²
22 + 7.919
29.92 m²
the equation of the line is y = 3x - 5
