Answer:

10 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:

Volume = Base Area x Height

In our case we are given

Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft

Substituting these known values into the formula gives:

Volume = Base Area x Height

15 = Base Area x 1.5

Base Area = 15 / 1.5

Base Area = 10 ft²
