To find the area of the base of a triangular prism, we must first find the area of the triangle that forms the base.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In the case of a triangular prism, the base is a triangle, so we need to find the area of this triangle.
Once we have found the area of the base triangle, we can then use this area to calculate the volume of the triangular prism.
