Answer:

The area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to
63\ cm^(2)

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to


V=Bh

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

In this problem we have


V=189\ cm^(3)


h=3\ cm

Substitute in the formula and solve for B


189=B(3)


B=189/3=63\ cm^(2)
