The cross section of rectangular prism A measures 3 units by 2 units. The cross section of triangular prism B has

a base that measures 4 units and a height of 3 units. If the length of each prism is 3.61 units, which statement is

true?

volume A = 1/2 (volume B)

volume A=2 (volume B)

volume A=1/3 (volume B)

volume A=volume B

volume A=volume B

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism = cross-sectional area * length

PRISM A:

Rectangular prism

Cross-section equals 3units by 2units

Therefore, the Area of the cross-section is given by

Area of rectangle = Length * Width = > (3*2) = 6

Length = 3.61

The volume is 6 * 3.61 = 21.66 unit³

PRISM B:

Triangular prism:

Cross-section equals 4units by 3units

Therefore, the Area of the cross-section is given by

Area of triangle = (1/2) * base * height

Area of triangle = 0.5 * 4 * 3 = 6

Length = 3.61

The volume is 6 * 3.61 = 21.66unit³
