First thing to do is to draw it.

The path and pool together have an radius of 6m

so together the area is 

$$A=\pi*6^2$$

But for the pool by itself the radius is 5 metres

so the area of just the pool is

$$A=\pi*5^2$$

 

The area of just the path must be the entire area minus the area of the pool.   

You can finish it.
