The base area of a cylinder is given by the formula:
Base Area = π * r^2
Where π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately equal to 3.14159) and r is the radius of the cylinder.
Plugging in the given values:
Base Area = π * (5.1 cm)^2
Using π on the calculator:
Base Area ≈ 3.14159 * (5.1 cm)^2 ≈ 81.68000 cm^2
Therefore, the base area of the cylinder is approximately 81.68 cm^2.
A solid cylinder has a radius of 5.1 cm and a height of 3.7 cm.
Use 𝜋 on your calculator and not 3.14 or 3.142 for answering the questions.
Calculate the base area of the cylinder.
