Question

question 8 (multiple choice worth 1 points) (06.01r mc) 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 4 units. which conclusion can be made from the given information? the volume of the triangular prism is half the volume of the cylinder. the volume of the triangular prism is twice the volume of the cylinder. the volume of the triangular prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder. the volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formulas

$V_{prism}=A_{base}\times h_{prism}$, $V_{cylinder}=A_{base}\times h_{cylinder}$

Step2: Analyze given heights

Given $h_{prism} = 6$, $h_{cylinder}=4$, and equal - area bases.

Step3: Compare volumes

Since bases have equal area and $h_{prism}
eq h_{cylinder}$, volumes are not equal.

Answer:

The volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.
