Now click on any file in the finder window.

You should be able to see the path of the file below

Macintosh > Library > WebServer > Documents > index.html

The format we are looking for is /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html

Right click on index.html file you should see an option Copy "index.html" as Pathname

Paste it into a Terminal and you should be the path of the format.
/Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html

To open the folder in the Termainal, right click on any folder (blue icons), example Documents in this case or Library. Use "New Terminal Tab at Folder" or "New Terminal at Folder". A new terminal would open with the path set by default.

use pwd to verify the path.
