The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
Since a cylinder has two circular bases, we need to calculate the total area of both bases.
Given that the radius of the cylinder is 3 cm, we need to find the area of one base:
A1 = π(3)^2
A1 = 3.14 * 9
A1 = 28.26 square centimeters
Since there are two bases:
Total area = 2 * A1
Total area = 2 * 28.26
Total area = 56.52 square centimeters
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of this cylinder is 56.52 square centimeters.
