Jacqueline Montgomery · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular prism has a triangular base. Finding a triangle's area requires two known quantities: base, labeled b, and height, labeled h. Base is the length of one of the triangle's sides, height is the distance from that side to the opposite corner of the triangle.

Antwan Hubbard · Answer 2

Base x Height divided by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.
