The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius. In this case, the radius of the base of the cylinder is half the width, so the radius is 15/2 or 7.5 cm.
Calculating the area of one base:
A = 3.14 x (7.5)^2 = 3.14 x 56.25 = 176.625 square cm
Since there are two bases, the total area of both bases is:
2 x 176.625 = 353.25 square cm
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the cylinder is 353.25 square centimeters.
