Answer:
[tex] \huge \orange {\boxed{ \sf 3\: sq. \: units}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the volume (V) of that prism is V= area of the base times height
Base on the given illustration, the height of the trapezoidal prism is 8 units. So if the volume is 24 cubic units, then the area of the base is :
[tex] \orange{ \sf{volume = \: area \: of \: the \: base \: \cdot \: height}} \\ \green{ \sf{area \: of \: the \: base \: = \frac{volume}{height}}} [/tex]
Area of the base = 24 ÷ 8 = 3
