Tina and her family live on a farm. Each summer they design and plant a corn maze for local children to enjoy in the autumn. This year Tina is designing the maze. Here are the details of her proposed design.
· The corn is to be planted in four concentric circles as shown in the diagram.
· The radii of the circles of corn are as marked in the diagram.
· A 3-Foot arc of each circle of corn will not be planted, as shown in the picture.
Tina’s parents want to make a gravel walkway that will extend 6 feet from the outer circle of the maze all the way around the maze. Find the area of the walkway. Round your answer to the nearest square foot, if necessary.
