For this case, the first thing we must observe is that the base of the prism is a triangle. The area of the triangle is given by: [tex]A = (1/2) * (b) * (h)
[/tex] Where, b: base of the triangle h: height of the triangle Substituting values we have: [tex]A = (1/2) * (4) * (3)
A = 6 ft ^ 2[/tex] Answer: The area of the base of the triangular prism could be: [tex]A = 6 ft ^ 2[/tex]
