Question

A local carnival sells two different containers of popcorn, as shown below.

Both containers have the same height, and the bases of the containers are congruent. Which statement best describes the relationship between the volumes of the two containers?

A. Container B will hold twice the volume of popcorn of Container A.
B. Container B will hold three times the volume of popcorn of Container A.
C. Container B will hold the same volume of popcorn as Container A.
D. Container B will hold 1/3 times the volume of popcorn of Container A.

Answer 1

The answer would be C since the formula for volume is lwh or bh. With this info, you know that the bases are congruent which means they are the same, as well with the height. So you just multiply the height by the base and they should be the same.
