Question

what is the value of B ( area of the base) for the following triangular prism?40 ft^248 ft^260 ft^224ft^2

Answer 1

The base of the prism is a triangle and the formula for finding the area of a triangle is "half base multiplied by height".

From the figure of the prism given the base and height of the triangle is 6 ft and 8 ft.

`\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2\text{ }}\text{ x 6 x 8} \\ \\ (48)/(2) \\ \\ 24ft^2 \end{gathered}`

CONCLUSION:

The area of the base of the given triangular prism is 24 squared feet ( the fourth option).
