Question

The cross-sectional areas of a right triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. The right triangular prism has a height of 6 units, and the right cylinder has a height of 6 units. Which conclusion can be made from the given information?.

Answer 1

The volumes are equal.

Explanation:

Areas are numbers. Numbers are not congruent. They may be equal.

Volume of cylinder = (area of base) × height

Volume of prism = (cross-sectional area) × height

Since the cross-sectional area are equal, and the heights are equal, the volumes are equal.
