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 33 and the height of the cylinder is 14. If the volume of the solid is 2750π, what is the area of the base of the cylinder?

110π [square units]

Explanation:

VT=Vcylinder+Vcone
VT=Shcylinder+Shcone3
VT=πr2hcylinder+πr2hcone3
πr2(hcylinder+hcone3)=VT

πr2=Scylinder's base=3VT3hcylinder+hcone=32750π314+33=8250π75=110π[square units]
