Answer:
10 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:
Volume = Base Area x Height
In our case we are given
Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft
Substituting these known values into the formula gives:
Volume = Base Area x Height
15 = Base Area x 1.5
Base Area = 15 / 1.5
Base Area = 10 ft²
