What is Base Area?

The base area of a cylinder is the area of one of its circular bases. It is calculated using the formula \(BA = \pi \left(\frac{D}{2}\right)^2\), where \(D\) is the diameter of the base. This measurement is important in various applications, including volume calculations and material estimations.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ BA = \pi \left(\frac{10}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \cdot 5^2 = \pi \cdot 25 \approx 78.54 \text{ square inches} \]

The Base Area is approximately 78.54 square inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ BA = \pi \left(\frac{15}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \cdot 7.5^2 = \pi \cdot 56.25 \approx 176.71 \text{ square inches} \]

The Base Area is approximately 176.71 square inches.
