Answer:
Explanation:
When the triangle is rotated about the side with a length of 8 cm, it forms a cone with a base radius equal to 4 cm and height equal to 6 cm.
Using the formula for the volume of a cone, V = 1/3 * πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height, we can find the volume of the resulting solid:
V = 1/3 * π * 4^2 * 6
V ≈ 100.53 cubic centimeters
To find the approximate base area, we need to calculate the area of the circle with a radius of 4 cm (the base of the cone):
A = πr^2
A ≈ 50.27 sq. cm
Therefore, the approximate base area of the resulting three-dimensional figure is about 50.27 sq. cm.
So, the closest option available in the given choices is 38 sq. cm, but the correct answer based on calculations is approximately 50.27 sq. cm.
