Answer:
The area of the base is about 32 square meters
Explanation:
V = pi times r^2 times h which is the formula.
Since the volume is 288, and the height is 9 it is,
288 = pi times r^2 times 9,
288/9 = pi times r^2 times 9/9
32/pi = pi/pi times r^2
10.2 = r^2
The square root of 10.2 is about 3.19
Area formula is pi times radius, r^2
3.19 times 3.19 or 3.19^2 = 10.1761
10.1761 times pi is 31.96 which is about 32 square meters.
I hope this helps!
