To find the total area of the two bases of the cylinder, we need to find the area of one base and then multiply it by 2.

The formula for the area of a circle (which is the shape of the base of the cylinder) is:

A = πr^2

Given that the radius of the cylinder is 3 cm, we can plug this into the formula:

A = 3.14 * (3)^2
A = 3.14 * 9
A = 28.26 square centimeters

Now, to find the total area of both bases, we multiply this by 2:

Total area = 28.26 * 2
Total area = 56.52 square centimeters

Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the cylinder is 56.52 square centimeters.
