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 42 and the height of the cylinder is 1 1. If the volume of the solid is 495 pi495π, what is the area of the base of the cylinder?

33pi33π.

Explanation:

Let rr be the radius of the Cone, so, that of the Cylinder is also rr.

"Now, the Volume v_1 of the cone="1/3pir^2"(height)"=1/3pir^2(42)Now, the Volume v_1 of the cone=13πr2(height)=13πr2(42),

and, the Vvolume v_2" of the cylinder="pir^2"(height)"=pir^2(1).v2 of the cylinder=πr2(height)=πr2(1).

:." Total Volume of the solid="v_1+v_2=14pir^2+pir^2=15pir^2

As this Volume is 495pi," we have, "15pir^2=495pi

:."The Area of the base of the cylinder="pir^2=(495pi)/15=33pi.
