Question

If two distinct prisms have bases of equal area and altitudes of equal length, then

A. their volumes are equal
B. their lateral areas are equal
C. their total areas are equal
D. they have the same number of faces

Answer 1

A. their volumes are equal

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a prism is equal to

`V=BH`

where

B is the area of the base and H is the height of the prism

therefore

If two distinct prisms have bases of equal area and altitudes of equal length, then

Their volumes are equal

The other options not necessarily must be true
