Question

A square prism and a cylinder have the same height. The area of the cross-section of the square prism is 157 square units, and the area of the cross-section of the cylinder is 50π square units. Based on this information, which argument can be made?

The volume of the square prism is one third the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of the square prism is half the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of the square prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of the square prism is twice the volume of the cylinder.

Answer 1

@AZ

Answer 2

Is it equal?

Answer 3

volume = Base * height

Base is the area of the base or basically the area of the cross section

and obviously they both have different areas for that, so what can you say about the volume when they both have the same height?

Answer 4

That there not equal..

Answer 5

Well I had a 25% chance

Answer 6

exactly and what's the relation between them?

How many times is 157 bigger than 50

Answer 7

3

Answer 8

Gods I hate this class too

Answer 9

On to checking all these bundles of joy

Answer 10

so 157 was the square prism

and it has the base area 3 times greater than the cylinder

and they both had the same height

so volume = Base * height

so the volume of the square prism is going to be ___ times

Answer 11

wait looking at the answer choices, I just realized it's not 50

it's 50\(\pi\) which is 157

Answer 12

157ish*

so that means your initial answer was correct
