Answer: 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume(V) = 40 cubic inches

Height (h) = 8 inches

1.) Volume of cone = (1/3) × base(B) × h

2.) 40 = (1/3) × base × 8

3.) 40 = (8/3) × base

4.) Multiply both sides by the reciprocal (3/8)

(40) × (3/8) = (8/3) × (3/8) × base

120/8 = base

15 = base

Therefore, base area of cone = 15 inches
