The area is $= 8.84 u^{3}$ $=8.84u^3$

Let $a =$ $a=$ area of the base

Volume of cone is $V_{c o} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot a \cdot h_{c o}$ $V_(co)=1/3*a*h_(co)$

Volume of cylinder is $V_{c y} = a \cdot h_{c y}$ $V_(cy)=a*h_(cy)$

Total volume

$V = V_{c o} + V_{c y}$ $V=V_(co)+V_(cy)$

$V = \frac{1}{3} a h_{c o} + a h_{c y}$ $V=1/3ah_(co)+ah_(cy)$

$45 π = a (\frac{1}{3} \cdot 27 + 7)$ $45pi=a(1/3*27+7)$

$45 π = a \cdot 16$ $45pi=a*16$

$a = \frac{45}{16} π$ $a=45/16pi$

$a = 8.84$ $a=8.84$
