Answer:

The area of the prism's base in square meters is
38.5m^2.

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying the base of the prism by the height. Since you know that the volume is
308m^3 and the height is
8m, you just need to divide the volume by the height to get the area of the base, which would be
(308)/(8) or
38.5m^2.
