Question

#1 Which rectangular prism will have more volume (left or right) or will they be the same?


#2 What are their volumes?

Answer 1

Answer:

They will have the same volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rectangular prisms above :

Prism 1 dimension = (3 * 1 1/2 * 2 1/2) inches

Prism 2 dimension = (2 1/2 * 3 * 1 1/2) inches

Recall; Volume of a rectangular prism is :

V = length * width * height

Prism 1 :

V = (3 * 1 1/2 * 2 1/2) = 11.25 in³

Prism 2 :

V = (2 1/2 * 3 * 1 1/2) = 11.25 in³

Hence, Volume of prism will be the same
