To find the base of a figure, you first need to identify the shape of the figure. The base of a figure is typically the bottom or lower side that forms the foundation or support for the rest of the shape. For example, in a triangle, the base is usually the side on which the triangle stands. In a rectangular prism, the base is one of the two parallel and congruent rectangular faces.

You find the base of a figure depending on if it's 2D or 3D

2D- Get a measuring device and find the length of the base.

3D- Easiest way is to split it into parts. For example, you have a pentagon-shaped base, i would split it into 5 and find the base for 1 part and multiply it by 5.
