Answer:

area of a trapezoidal base  of each prism with heights  6 and 8 units are 4 square units and 3 square units respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first be aware of formula of volume for any regular geometrical figure.

Fundamental formula for  volume for any regular geometrical figure is.

volume = area of cross section of object*  height of object (A)

In the problem stated area of cross section of object will be  area of a trapezoidal base.

Given in the question is

Volume of both the trapezoidal prisms = 24 cubic units

*************************************************************************************

For prism with height 6 unit

Substituting the value of height and volume in formula for trapezoidal prisms

24 = 6 * area of a trapezoidal base

=> area of a trapezoidal base = 24/6 = 4 square units

*************************************************************************************

For prism with height 8 unit

Substituting the value of height and volume in formula for trapezoidal prisms

24 = 8 * area of a trapezoidal base

=> area of a trapezoidal base = 24/8 = 3 square units

*************************************************************************************

Therefore area of a trapezoidal base  of each prism with heights  6 and 8 units are 4 square units and 3 square units respectively.
