Answer:

As both prism have the same base area and height there volumes are the same.

Explanation:

Volume of the prism is given by

Volume of Prism A= base area* height

60 cubic units= base area* 12

base area= 60/12= 5 units

Volume of Prism B= base area* height

= 5 units*12 units

= 60 cubic units

As both prism have the same base area and height there volumes are the same.

The length of the longer side is the length of the triangle itself.

For example the length of longer side of prism A maybe 10 units but width may be 1/2 units

and

the length of longer side of prism B maybe 15 units but width may be 1/3 units

the total base area remains the same.

Prism A has a volume of 60 cubic units and a height of 12 units. Prism B has the same-example-1
