Question

The cross-sectional areas of a triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. The triangular prism has a height of 5 units, and the night cylinder has a height of 5 units. Which conclusion can
be made from the given information?
• The volume of the prism is half the volume of the cylinder.
O The volume of the prism is twice the volume of the cylinder,
The volume of the prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder
The volume of the prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder

Answer 1

Answer:

  The volume of the prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

For each solid figure, the volume formula is ...

  V = Bh

where B is the cross-sectional area and h is the height. The problem statement tells us B and h have the same values for both figures. Hence their volumes are the same.
