Answer:

24.1 square units

Explanation:

You want the base area of a prism with height 9 units and volume 216.9 units³.

Volume

The formula for the volume of a prism is ...

V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height. Solving for the base area, we have ...

B = V/h = (216.9 u³)/(9 u) = 24.1 u²

The area of one of the bases is 24.1 square units.
