SOLUTION:
The base of the prism is a triangle and the formula for finding the area of a triangle is "half base multiplied by height".
From the figure of the prism given the base and height of the triangle is 6 ft and 8 ft.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2\text{ }}\text{ x 6 x 8} \\ \\ \frac{48}{2} \\ \\ 24ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
CONCLUSION:
The area of the base of the given triangular prism is 24 squared feet ( the fourth option).
