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:

A = (1/2) * (b) * (h)
Where,
b: base of the triangle
h: height of the triangle
Substituting values we have:

A = (1/2) * (4) * (3) A = 6 ft ^ 2
Answer:
The area of the base of the triangular prism could be:

A = 6 ft ^ 2
