Given that Volume of triangular prism = 216 cubic centimetre

Given that Height of the pencil = 12 centimetre

Now we have to find the area of the base of the prism means find the area of triangular part.

Volume of triangular prism is given by formula:

Volume of triangular prism = (Area of base) x (Height of the prism)

now plug the given values

216= (Area of the base) x 12

$\frac{216}{12}=$ Area of the base

18= Area of the base

Hence final answer is 18 square centimetres.
