Question : Prism A and Prism B have the same volume. Which could be the dimensions of prism B?
Prism A :
Length = 8 feet
Width = 4 feet
Height = 5 feet
Prism B:
Length = ? feet
Width = ? feet
Height = ? feet
Option 1:
Length = 6 feet
Width = 10 feet
Height = 2 feet
Option 2:
Length = 4 feet
Width = 4 feet
Height = 10 feet
Option 3:
Length = 5 feet
Width = 4 feet
Height = 7 feet
Option 4:
Length = 8 feet
Width = 4 feet
Height = 6 feet
Here, the dimensions of the prism B will be length = 4 feet, width = 4 feet, and height = 10 feet.
We know that if the a and b be the length and width of the base respectively and c be the height of a prism, then the volume of the prism is abc.
Given that
length of 1st prism = 8 feet
width of 1st prism = 4 feet
height of 1st prism = 5 feet
So volume of 1st prism = 8 * 4 * 5 = 160 feet³
Now the volume of 1st and 2nd prisms are the same.
So, we have to check the options for length, width, and height of the 2nd prism.
1st option:
Height = 6 feet
Width = 10 feet
Length = 2 feet
So, volume = 6 * 10 * 2 = 120 feet³
Then the 1st option is incorrect.
2nd option:
Height = 4 feet
Width = 4 feet
Length = 10 feet
So, volume = 4 * 4 * 10 = 160 feet³
Then the 2nd option is correct.
Therefore, the dimensions of the prism B will be length = 4 feet, width = 4 feet, and height = 10 feet. The 2nd option is correct.
