Problem 3
Answer: Choice A and Choice C
-----------------------
Explanation:
Think of stacks of coins. Let's say we had 2 stacks of 10 quarters each. The quarters are identical, so they must produce identical volumes. Those sub-volumes then add up to the same volume for each stack. Now imagine one stack is perfectly aligned and the other stack is a bit crooked. Has the volume changed for the crooked stack? No, it hasn't. We're still dealing with the same amount of coins and they yield the same volume.
For more information, check out Cavalieri's Principle.
With all that in mind, this leads us to choice C. If the bases are the same, and so are the heights, then we must be dealing with the same volumes.
On the other hand, if one base is wider (while the heights are still equal) then the wider based block is going to have more volume. This leads us to choice A.
