$6 π \approx 18.850$ $6pi ~~ 18.850$

Explanation:

The volume of the cylinder is given by its height multiplied by the area of its circular base.

$V_{cylinder} = π \cdot r^{2} \cdot h_{cylinder}$ $V_"cylinder" = pi * r^2 * h_"cylinder"$

$h_{cylinder} = 7$ $h_"cylinder" = 7$ in this question.

The volume of a cone is given by a third of its height multiplied by the area of its circular base.

$V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot π \cdot r^{2} \cdot h_{cone}$ $V_"cone" = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h_"cone"$

$h_{cone} = 27$ $h_"cone" = 27$ in this question.
The variable $r$ $r$ is reused as the cone has the same radius as the cylinder.

The volume of the entire solid is

$V_{solid} = V_{cylinder} + V_{cone}$ $V_"solid" = V_"cylinder" + V_"cone"$

$= π \cdot r^{2} \cdot h_{cylinder} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot π \cdot r^{2} \cdot h_{cone}$ $= pi * r^2 * h_"cylinder" + 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h_"cone"$

$= π \cdot r^{2} \cdot (h_{cylinder} + \frac{1}{3} h_{cone})$ $= pi * r^2 * (h_"cylinder" + 1/3 h_"cone")$

$= π \cdot r^{2} \cdot (7 + \frac{1}{3} \times 27)$ $= pi * r^2 * (7 + 1/3 xx 27)$

Now it becomes a simple matter to solve for the base area of the cylinder, which is just $π r^{2}$ $pi r^2$ .

$π \cdot r^{2} = \frac{V_{solid}}{7 + \frac{1}{3} \times 27}$ $pi * r^2 = V_"solid"/(7 + 1/3 xx 27)$

$= \frac{96 π}{16}$ $= (96pi)/16$

$= 6 π$ $= 6pi$

$\approx 18.850$ $~~ 18.850$
