If a prism's height is tripled while the base area remains constant, what happens to the volume?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Height = 3 times increased
Base area = constant
By formula:
Volume of prism (V) = base area × height
Let initial volume = A × h
New height = 3h
New volume = A × 3h = 3Ah
New volume = 3 × initial volume
Volume will be 3 times increased
