By definition, the volume of a cylinder is given by:
[tex] V = A * h
[/tex]
Where,
A: area of the base
Cylinder height
Clearing the area of the base we have:
[tex] A = V / h
[/tex]
Substituting values we have:
[tex] A = 56.52 / 4.5
A = 12.56 feet ^ 2
[/tex]
Answer:
the area of its base is:
[tex] A = 12.56 feet ^ 2 [/tex]
