Question

A right rectangular prism and an oblique triangular prism are both 12 centimeters tall and have the same volume. What statement must be true about two solids?

Answer 1

We conclude that both the prism has same area.

Explanation:

Given a right rectangular prism and an oblique triangular prism are both 12 centimeters tall and have the same volume.

we have to conclude the correct statement about these two prism.

As, given the height of both prism are same i.e 12 cm and also have same volume implies same cross-section or we can say have same base.

and also, Horizontal cross-sections of the prisms at the same height have the same area.

We conclude that both the prism has same area.

Answer 2

This is the concept of volumes of solid figures, given that the height of the right rectangular prism and the oblique triangular prism are 12 cm and both prisms have the same volume, we can conclude that:
Horizontal cross-sections of the prisms at the same height have the same area.
