Two right prisms have the same height, but their bases are triangles with areas in the ratio 3:5. What is the ratio of their volumes?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Volume of a prism = Area of base × Height
Since the heights of both are the same, the ratio of their volumes will be equal to the ratio of their base areas.
Therefore, the ratio of the volumes = 3 : 5.
