C = πd. In this equation, "C" represents the circumference of the circle, and "d" represents its diameter. That is to say, you can find the circumference of a circle just by multiplying the diameter by pi. Plugging π into your calculator will give you its numerical value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14 or 22/7.
The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14.
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
