Two rectangular prisms have the same volume. The area of the base of the blue
prism is 2-square units. The area of the base of the red prism is one third that
of the blue prism. Which statement is true?

Answer :

Answer:

Therefore the true statement is that the height of the red prism is three times the height of the  blue prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Volume of blue prism = (base of blue prism) [tex]\times[/tex] (height of blue prism)

ii) base of red prism  = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] (base of blue prism)

iii) Volume of red prism = (base of red prism) [tex]\times[/tex] (height of red prism)

                  = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] (base of blue prism) [tex]\times[/tex] (height of red prism)

iv)  Volume of blue prism = Volume of red prism

   ∴  (base of blue prism) [tex]\times[/tex] (height of blue prism) =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] (base of blue prism) [tex]\times[/tex] (height of red prism)

∴height of blue prism =   [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex]  (height of red prism)

Therefore the true statement is that the height of the red prism is three times the height of the  blue prism.
