The base area of the prism is 36 square centimeters and the volume of the prism is 288 cubic centimeters
<h3>How to determine the base area?</h3>The base area is calculated as:
Base area =Length * Width
From the complete question (see attachment), we have:
Length = 12
Width = 3
So, we have:
Base area = 12 * 3
Base area = 36
<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>The volume is calculated as:
Volume = Base area * Height
So, we have:
Volume = 36 * 8
Evaluate
Volume = 288
Hence, the volume of the prism is 288 cubic centimeters
