Question

A cylinder has a volume of 2167 cubic feet and a height of 18 feet. What is the area of the base?

Cylinder V = Bh
1. Substitute the known measures into the formula: 2167 = B(18)
2. Apply the division property of equality:
2167 = BIS
The base has an area of
a ft.
1) Intro

Answer 1

The area of the base is 120.39 ft²

Explanation:

To calculate the area of a rectangular prism we have to use the following formula:

a = area

v = volume = 2167ft³

h = height = 18ft

v = a * h

we replace the known values and solve

2167ft³ = a * 18ft

2167ft³ / 18ft = a * 18ft /18ft

120.39 ft² = a

The area of the base is 120.39 ft²
