Final answer:

The volume of a solid that can be calculated the same way as a right circular cylinder is a rectangular prism, by multiplying the area of the base by the height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a solid can indeed be calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height. This is true for both a right circular cylinder and a rectangular prism. Therefore, the solid beside a cylinder that can have its volume calculated in an identical manner is a rectangular prism (D).

The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where V is volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height. For a rectangular prism, the formula for volume is V = lwh, with l representing the length, w representing the width of the base, and h being the height.

Both formulas are a product of the area of the base (for a cylinder, the base is a circle, and for a rectangular prism, it is a rectangle) and the height of the solid.
