Base is just the face of the figure that is usually touching the "ground," but if you are talking about a prism, it's either of the two faces of the prism that aren't the rectangles or parallelograms that make up the sides. (In a triangular prism, it's the two triangles.) To find the area, you just use the formula for the figure that makes the base. Please note that these formulas that follow might mention base, but in these formulas, they are referring to the base line of the figure--for example, the length of a rectangle. For a rectangle or square, it would be base times height. For a triangle, base times height, divided by 2. For a trapezoid, base one plus base two, divided by two, times the height. For a circle (like in a cylinder or cone), it's pi times the radius squared.
A cone and a pyramid have only one base each, but rectangular prisms have two, so you have to add both areas to get the total area of the faces.

The area of a parallelogram is 420 cm2 and the base is 35cm Find the corresponding base?
The area of parallelogram is 420cm2 and the height is 35cm. Find the corresponding base.
How do you find the base of a triangle with the area and height?
It is found by: base = (area*2)/height
How do you find the base of a triangle if you only have the height and the area?
base = (2*area)/height
Find the area of parallelogram?
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the length of the base by the height. The height should be perpendicular to the base.
How do you find the area of one base of a cylinder?
The area of the base of a cylinder is: pi times radius squared
How do you find the base of a trapazoid when you have the height and area?
Area = Base * Height so Base = Area/Height
How can you find the height of aparallelogram by using area and base?
You can find the height of a parallelogram given the area and base measures by working backwards from the area formula. The area of a parallelogram is found with the formula: Area = Base * Height To solve this equation for Height, we divide both sides by the base. Area / Base = (Base * Height) / Base Simplify: Area / Base = Height
How do you find the area of a triangular base?
Area = (base x height) / 2
How do you find the area of a triangle if you have base and height?
Area = 0.5*Base*Height
How you find the area of a rectangle from the perimeter and base length?
perimeter (P)=2(length+base) find length, area = length * base = (p/2-base)*base
How do you find the height when you know the Area and the base?
in a triangle double area and divide by base in a rectangle divide area by base
How do you find the volume of a pyriamd?
Find the area of the base, find the height of the pyramid. Volume = (1/3)*(area of base)*(height)
The area of a parallelogram is 420 cm2 and the base is 35cm Find the corresponding base?
The area of parallelogram is 420cm2 and the height is 35cm. Find the corresponding base.
How do you find the base of a triangle with the area and height?
It is found by: base = (area*2)/height
How do you find the base of a triangle if you only have the height and the area?
base = (2*area)/height
How do you find the surface area when you have the base and side?
Base * height is surface area or (bh)
How do you find the area of a circular base?
Area = πr2 where r is the radius of the base.
