Step-by-step explanation: First. find the area of the bases. To do this, you must solve for the area of a circle with a radius of 4. Since the formula for finding the area of a circle is area=πr² squared, the area of the circles are 16π. Next, you must multiply the area of the base, 16π, by the height of the cylinder, 9. 16π times 9 is 144π, or about 452.4, if rounded to the nearest tenth, or 452.39, if rounded to the nearest hundredth.
