Given:
Given that the height of the cone is 12 ft.
The volume of the cone is 90 ft³
We need to determine the area of the base of the cone.
Area of the base of the cone:
The area of the base of the cone can be determined using the formula,
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h[/tex]
where the base area is [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
Substituting the value of A in the above formula, we get,
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}A h[/tex]
Substituting V = 90 and h = 12, we get;
[tex]90=\frac{1}{3}A (12)[/tex]
[tex]90=4A[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 4, we get;
[tex]22.5 =A[/tex]
Thus, the area of the base of the cone is 22.5 square feet.
Hence, Option c is the correct answer.
