Answered by GPT 3.5
The area of the base of the triangular prism can be calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle, since the base of a triangular prism is a triangle.

First, calculate the area of the base triangle:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 7 cm x 2 cm
Area = 7 cm x 1 cm
Area = 7 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the base of the triangular prism is 7 square centimeters.

To find the volume of a triangular prism, you need to multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism.

In this case, the area of the base is 7 square centimeters and the height of the prism is 3 cm.

Volume = Area of base x Height
Volume = 7 cm^2 x 3 cm
Volume = 21 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 21 cubic centimeters.
