We know area of minor segment of the circle is $A=\left\{\frac{\mathrm{\pi \theta }}{360}-\mathrm{sin}\frac{\theta }{2}\mathrm{cos}\frac{\theta }{2}\right\}{r}^{2}$
$⇒A=\left\{\frac{\mathrm{\pi }×90°}{360}-\mathrm{sin}\frac{90}{2}\mathrm{cos}\frac{90}{2}\right\}{\left(20\right)}^{2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒A=\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}-\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(400\right)$
Area of the major segment = Area of the circle − area of the minor segment

Thus, radius of inner semicircle is 35 m.

Now,
radius of outer semi circle r' = 35 + 14 = 49 m

Area of running track =
$=2×90×14+2×\frac{\mathrm{\pi }\left(49{\right)}^{2}}{2}-2×\frac{\mathrm{\pi }\left(35{\right)}^{2}}{2}$
$=2520+\mathrm{\pi }×\left(49+35\right)\left(49-35\right)$
$=2520+\frac{22}{7}×84×14$

Hence, the area of running track = 6216 m2

Now, length L of outer running track is
L = 2 × l + 2$\mathrm{\pi }$r'
$=2×90+2\mathrm{\pi }×49$

$=180+2×\frac{22}{7}×49$
