Answer: 10 square meters

Explanation:

We know that the volume of cylinder is given by :-

$\text{Volume}=\pi r^2 h$ , where r is radius and h is height of cylinder.

Now, according to the question we have :

$140=\pi r^2(14)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \pi r^2=10$

Also, the area of base is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=10\ m^2$

Therefore, the area of the base =10 square meters
