Determine the total area of the TWO BASES of this cylinder. (Use 3.14 for π.)
2cm on top, and 15cm on the right side
A. 3.14 square centimeters
B. 6.28 square centimeters
C. 94.20 square centimeters
D. 100.48 square centimeters no wrong answer please
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.
