What is the area of the base of a cylinder with a volume of 174π in.3 and a height of 12 inches?

1. Apply the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = Bh

2. Substitute the known measures into the formula: 174π = B(12)

3. Apply the division property of equality:
174π
12
= B
12
12

The area of the base of the cyclinder is
π in.2.
