Answer 1

200.96cm²

Explanation:

Volume of the can is expressed as Length *Breadth* Height.

If the area of the can base is Length * Breadth

Volume of the can = area of the base of the can * Height

Given parameters

Volume of the can V = 3416.32cm³

Height of the can h = 17cm

Required

Area of the base of the can

Substituting the given parameters into the formula we have;

V = Ah

A = V//h

A = 3416.32/17

A = 200.96cm²

Hence, the area of the base of the can is 200.96cm²
