Answer: 10 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the volume of cylinder is given by :-
[tex]\text{Volume}=\pi r^2 h[/tex], where r is radius and h is height of cylinder.
Now, according to the question we have :
[tex]140=\pi r^2(14)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \pi r^2=10[/tex]
Also, the area of base is given by :-
[tex]\text{Area}=\pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Area}=10\ m^2[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the base =10 square meters
