Answer:
242.76m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Height=18m
Volume=4,374m^3
We know that the expression for the volume of a cylinder is
V=πr^2h
substitute
4374=3.142*r^2*18
4374=56.556*r^2
4374/56.556=r^2
77.339=r^2
r=√77.339
r= 8.79m
But the area of a circle is expressed as
A= πr^2
A=3.142*8.79^2
A=3.142*77.2641
A=242.76m^2
Hence the area of the base is 242.76m^2
