Answer:

25.3 square centimeters

Explanation:

Volume is a product of surface area and height, expressed as

V=Ah

Where A is area while h is height of the prism.

Making A the subject of the formula then


A=\frac {V}{h}

Substituting 212.52 cubic centimeters for V and 8.4 centimeters for h then


A=\frac {212.52}{8.4}=25.3

Therefore, the area of the base of prism is 25.3 square centimeters
