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.
