Base x yards, altitude 3y feet.

to show multiplication you can write it like this
x*3*y

people generally do not show the multiply sign if it's different letters /numbers
also they usually put the number first (if there is one)

you can change the order when multiplying (example: 2*3 is the same as 3*2)
so x*3*y  is also  3*x*y  (alphabetical is good)

and leaving out the multiply signs: 3xy
