Answer: [tex]9\pi\ \text{square units.}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , A cylinder withg height 12 units and diameter 6 units.
As we know that that base of a cylinder is a circle.
So , Area of the base of the cylinder = Area of circle = [tex]\pi r^2\text{ or }\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2[/tex], where d= diametre of the circle.
As here, d= 6 units , we put this in above formula , we will get
Area of the base of the cylinder =[tex]\pi (\dfrac{6}{2})^2=\pi 3^2=\pi (9)=9\pi\text{ square units}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the c=base of the given cylinder is [tex]9\pi\ \text{square units.}[/tex]
