The cross-sectional areas of a triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. The triangular prism has a height of 5 units, and the right cylinder has a height of 5 units. Which conclusion can be made from the given information?

A) The volume of the prism is half the volume of the cylinder.
B) The volume of the prism is twice the volume of the cylinder.
C) The volume of the prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
D) The volume of the prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) The volume of the prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of triangular prism = area of base × height

volume of cylinder = area of base × height

The cross sectional area are equal, so the bases have the same area.

The heights are also equal.

The volumes must be equal.

Answer: C) The volume of the prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
