Question

Which properties are necessary to claim that the two prisms are congruent? Check all that apply.

The lengths of corresponding edges are in a 1:1 ratio.
The volumes are equal.
Corresponding angles have different measures.
Corresponding faces are not congruent.
The base areas are equal.
The prisms have the same height.

Answer 1

The necessary properties are:
- The lengths of corresponding edges are in a 1:1 ratio.
- The volumes are equal.
- The base areas are equal.
- The prisms have the same height.

(3 and 4 are false for congruent prisms: corresponding angles must match and corresponding faces must be congruent.)
