Question

10 POINTS!.A sculptor is planning to make two triangular prisms out of steel. The sculptor will use △ABC for the bases of one prism and △DEF for the bases of the other prism. Is △ABC similar to △DEF? Explain.
Suppose the sculptor makes both prisms with the same height. Find the volume of each prism. Which prism will have a greater volume? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

if they are similar then their sides are proportional and the following would be true:  

40/30 = 48/36  

reduce both sides:  

4/3 = 4/3  

so, yes, they are similar.
