First, let's find the area of the base of the triangular prism.
Since the base of the triangular prism is a triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base of the triangle is 3 cm and the height is 2 cm.
Area = 1/2 * 3 cm * 2 cm
Area = 3 cm
Therefore, the area of the base of the triangular prism is 3 cm².
