Question

What is the area of the base in the figure below? A cylinder with height 12 and diameter 6. 9 square units 9 pi square units 72 square units 72 pi square units

Answer 1

Option B, 9 pi square units.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area of circle = 9π square unit

Explanation:

Given:

Height of cylinder = 12 units

Base diameter of cylinder = 6 units

Find:

Area of base

Computation:

Base Radius of cylinder = Base diameter of cylinder / 2

Base Radius of cylinder = 6 / 2

Base Radius of cylinder = 3 unit

Area of circle = πr²

Area of circle = (π)(3)²

Area of circle = 9π square unit
