To find the area of the base of the triangular prism, we must first calculate the area of the triangle.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula A = 0.5 * base * height.
In this case, the base of the triangle is 2 cm and the height of the triangle is 3 cm (since it is the distance from the top vertex to the bottom side of the triangle).
Therefore, the area of the base of the triangular prism is:
A = 0.5 * 2 cm * 3 cm
A = 1 cm * 3 cm
A = 3 square cm
Therefore, the area of the base of the triangular prism is 3 square cm.
