Question

A cylinder has a volume of 140 cubic meters and a height of 14 meters. What is the area of the base?

Answer 1

140 divided by 14 is your base, which is 10 square meters.

Answer 2

Answer: 10 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of cylinder is given by :-

$\text{Volume}=\pi r^2 h$, where r is radius and h is height of cylinder.

Now, according to the question we have :

$140=\pi r^2(14)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \pi r^2=10$

Also, the area of base is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=10\ m^2$

Therefore, the area of the base =10 square meters
