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 39 39 and the height of the cylinder is 17 17. If the volume of the solid is 60 pi60π, what is the area of the base of the cylinder?

1 Answer

2\pi \ \text{unit}^2

Explanation:

Ler r be the radius of common base of cylinder of height 17 & cone of height 39 then the total volume of the composite solid

\pi r^2(17)+1/3\pir^2(39)=60 \pi

\pir^2(17+13)=60\pi

\pi r^2=\frac{60\pi}{30}

\pi r^2=2\pi

\text{Area of base of cylinder}=2\pi \ \text{unit}^2
