Question

What is the area of the base of the cone below?

Answer 1

c is the awncer trust me I took the test

Answer 2

Given:

Given that the height of the cone is 12 ft.

The volume of the cone is 90 ft³

We need to determine the area of the base of the cone.

Area of the base of the cone:

The area of the base of the cone can be determined using the formula,

`V=(1)/(3) \pi r^2 h`

where the base area is
`A=\pi r^2`

Substituting the value of A in the above formula, we get,

`V=(1)/(3)A h`

Substituting V = 90 and h = 12, we get;

`90=(1)/(3)A (12)`

`90=4A`

Dividing both sides by 4, we get;

`22.5 =A`

Thus, the area of the base of the cone is 22.5 square feet.

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.
