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 #42 # and the height of the cylinder is #1 #. If the volume of the solid is #195 pi#, what is the area of the base of the cylinder?

Area of the base #= 13 pi#

The volume of the shape consists of two volumes added together:

Vol = vol cone + vol cylinder

Vol = #(pi r^2 H)/3 + pi r^2 h " the radius is the same"#

#195 pi = (cancel42^14 pi r^2)/cancel3 + 1 pi r^2 #

#195 pi = 14 pi r^2 + 1 pi r^2 = 15 pi r^2#

#195 pi = 15 pi r^2" (but the area we want is "pi r^2)#

#(195 pi)/15 = (15 pi r^2)/15#

#pi r^2 = 13 pi#
