There is no B in that question.

the b means the area of the base! sorry

anonymous · Answer

The base is the triangular section on the bottom I assume? and we know that the area of a triangle is 1/2 Base* height.
We can see that the base of the triangle is 3yd and the height is 4yd. So Just use the formula.
You're answer should be 6yd
