Answer:
Area of the base is 16[tex]\pi[/tex] square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the cylinder given in figure is a circle.
Hence, to calculate the area of the base of the cylinder we need to calculate the area of the circle.
Area of a circle: [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex] (r is the radius of the circle)
From, the figure
Radius of the circle (r) = 4 units.
[tex]\therefore[/tex] Area of the base of the cylinder = Area of the circle = [tex]\pi[/tex]*[tex]4^{2}[/tex] = 16[tex]\pi[/tex]
Hence, The area of the base will be 16π square units.
