Question

The volume of one prism is known, along with the height of another prism. The values are shown below.



For the two prisms to be congruent, what must the area of the base be, given that the triangular bases are congruent?

3 in.2
6 in.2
12 in.2
15 in.2

Answer 1

I don't see the volume and height values in your message — only the answer choices. To solve this you use

area of base = volume ÷ height.

If you tell me the known prism's volume and the other prism's height I can compute which choice is correct.

(For example, if the known volume were 36 in^3 and the height of the other prism were 3 in, then area = 36 ÷ 3 = 12 in^2.)
