A solid consists of a cone on top of a cylinder with a radius equal to that of the cone. The height of the cone is 9 9 and the height of the cylinder is 6 6. If the volume of the solid is 130 pi130π, what is the area of the base of the cylinder?

The answer is =45.4=45.4

Explanation:

Let area of base =a=a

The volume of the cone =1/3*a*h=13ah

The volume of the cylinder =a*H=aH

Total volume V=1/3ah+aH=a(h/3+H)V=13ah+aH=a(h3+H)

V=130piV=130π

height of cone h=9h=9

height of cylinder H=6H=6

So,

a(9/3+6)=130pia(93+6)=130π

9a=130pi9a=130π

a=130/9pi=45.4a=1309π=45.4
