Determine the total area of the TWO BASES of this cylinder. (Use 3.14 for π.)
To find the total area of the two bases of the cylinder, we first need to calculate the area of one base and then multiply it by 2.
The formula to find the area of a circle (which is the shape of the bases of the cylinder) is:
A = πr^2
where A is the area, π is approximately 3.14, and r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius of the cylinder is 4 units, we can calculate the area of one base:
A = 3.14 * 4^2
A = 3.14 * 16
A = 50.24 square units
Now, to find the total area of the two bases, we multiply this by 2:
Total area = 50.24 * 2
Total area = 100.48 square units
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the cylinder is 100.48 square units.
