The total area of the two bases of the cylinder can be calculated by finding the area of two circles with radii of 1 cm and 7.5 cm (half of the diameter of 15 cm).
Area of a circle = πr^2
For the top base:
Area = π(1)^2 = 3.14 square centimeters
For the side base:
Area = π(7.5)^2 = 176.625 square centimeters
Total area of the two bases = 3.14 + 176.625 = 179.765 square centimeters
Therefore, the closest answer choice is C. 94.20 square centimeters.
