A right rectangular prism has base dimensions of 3 inches by 12 inches and a height of 5 inches. An oblique rectangular prism ha
s base dimensions of 4 inches by 9 inches and a height of 5 inches.Is it possible to have all the volumes would be the same?
A. Yes, because the heights are equal and the cross-sectional areas at every level parallel to the bases are also equal.
B. Yes, because the figures are congruent.
C. No, because the cross-sectional areas are not the same.
D. No, because only the bases have the same area, not every cross section at every level parallel to the bases.

Answer with explanation:
Right Rectangular prism 1
Dimension of Base =3 inches by 12 inches
Height =5 inches
→Volume of Right Rectangular prism 1
= Area of Base × Height
= 3 × 12 ×5
= 180 cubic inches
Right Rectangular prism 2
Dimension of Base =4 inches by 9 inches
Height =5 inches
→Volume of Right Rectangular prism 2
= Area of Base × Height
= 4 × 9 ×5
= 180 cubic inches
Option A: Yes, because the heights are equal and the cross-sectional areas at every level parallel to the bases are also equal.
