The volume of the triangular prism is 30 cubic units. How do I determine the area of the base in square units?

V = Bh

if you know the height, divide it into 30.

To determine the area of the base of a triangular prism, you need to know the volume and the height of the prism. The formula to calculate the volume of a triangular prism is given by:

Volume = (Area of Base) * Height

In your case, you know that the volume is 30 cubic units. Let's say the height of the prism is denoted by h. So we have:

30 = (Area of Base) * h

To determine the area of the base, we need to rearrange the formula and solve for the area.

Divide both sides of the equation by h:

30 / h = Area of Base

So, the area of the base is equal to 30 divided by the height of the prism (h). To calculate this, you need to know the value of h. If you have the value of h, substitute it into the equation to find the area of the base.
