Answer:

The base's radius is 8 centimeters.

Explanation:

The radius of a circle is half of its diameter.

In this case, the diameter of the round base of the copper tea kettle is 16 centimeters.

So, to find the radius, you simply need to divide the diameter by 2:

$\sf Radius =( Diameter )/(2)$

$\sf Radius = (16 cm )/( 2)$

$\sf Radius = 8 cm$

Therefore, the base's radius is 8 centimeters.
