1. Calculate the radius of the cylinder using the formula for the area of the base:
\text{Area of base} = \pi r^2 = 144\pi
Divide both sides by $\pi$:
r^2 = 144
Take the square root of both sides:
r = 12 \, \text{cm}
2. Calculate the lateral area of the cylinder using the formula for lateral area:
\text{Lateral area} = 2\pi rh
Substitute the known values ($r = 12\, \text{cm}$ and $h = 15\, \text{cm}$):
\text{Lateral area} = 2\pi (12)(15)
3. Simplify:
\text{Lateral area} = 2\pi \cdot 180
\text{Lateral area} = 360\pi \, \text{cm}^2
Divide both sides by $\pi$:
Take the square root of both sides:
