140 divided by 14 is your base, which is 10 square meters.

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
