To determine the total area of the TWO bases of a triangular prism, you need to find the combined area of the two triangular bases.
If you know the lengths of the base and height of the triangle, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is (1/2) * base * height. Then, you simply multiply this area by 2 to find the total area of both bases.
If you have a specific triangular prism that you are looking at, you can input the measurements into the Desmos Calculator to find the total area of the bases.
