    The circumference of any circle is

    diameter x pi.

    Distance around the outside of the walk is (150+2+2) pi = 154 pi feet.

    Distance around the inside of the walk is 150 pi feet.

    Difference = 4 pi feet.

    Same as if you strung a string around the Earth that was 2 feet off the surface everywhere.

    The string would be 4pi feet longer than the Earth's circumference at the surface ... about 12.5 feet.
