Answer:
See explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'base' of a rectangular prism refers to only one side of the rectangular prism, which is a rectangle.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is as follows:

Where A = area, l = length, and w = width.
The 'base' of a cylinder refers to only one side of the cylinder, which is a circle.
The formula for the area of a circle is as follows:

Where A = area and r = radius.
Just in case you typed your question incorrectly and were asking for surface area, here is the formula for surface area for both as well:
Rectangular prism: 
Cylinder: 
The total area is:
A = (20) * (37)
A = 740 in ^ 2
We can make the following rule of three:
740in ^ 2 -----> 100%
x --------------> 50%
Clearing x we have:
x = (50/100) * (740)
x = 370 in ^ 2
Answer:
the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose was:
x = 370 in ^ 2
Answer:
percent means <u>per hundred </u>
Between the 100 squares, 60 of them are shaded
so you do 60/100
it's kind of like correcting tests, you have 100 questions, you got 80 of them right so its going to be 80/100
when you calculate percentage, you do the fraction x 100
so it's 60/100 = 0.6 x100 = 60%
