Question

According to Cavalier’s Principle, a right cylinder and a right rectangular prism can have the same volume as long as they both have the same base area and the same height. Is this a true statement?

write at least 2 sentences to support you statement

Answer 1

Cavalieri's Principle states that if two solids have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume. This means that the solids do not have to be the same shape, but their cross-sectional areas must be identical at every level.

So the statement that a right cylinder and a right rectangular prism can have the same volume if they have the same base area and height is true
