Solution
In the given problem, the area available for the motorcyclist for riding will be equal to the surface area of the hollow sphere. So here, we have to find the surface area of a hollow sphere of a given diameter.
Diameter of the sphere (d) = 7 m
So, surface area of the sphere = `4 pi (d/2)^2`
`=4(22/7)(7/2)^2`
`=(22/7)(3.5)^2`
=154 m2
Therefore, the area available for the motorcyclist for riding is 154 m2 .
