The cross section of rectangular prism A measures 3 units by 2 units. The cross section of triangular prism B has a base that measures 4 units and a height of 3 units. If the length of each prism is 3.61 units, which statement is

true?

volume A= 1/2(volume B)

volume A=2(volume B)

volume A=1/3(volume B)

volume A=volume B

volume A=volume B

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism = cross-sectional area × length

PRISM A:

Rectangular prism

Cross-section equals 3units by 2units

Therefore, the Area of the cross-section is given by

Area of rectangle= Length × Width =>( 3×2) = 6

Length = 3.61

The volume is 6 × 3.61 = 21.66 unit³

PRISM B:

Triangular prism:

Cross-section equals 4units by 3units

Therefore, the Area of the cross-section is given by

Area of triangle = (1/2) × base × height

Area of triangle= 0.5 × 4 × 3= 6

Length = 3.61

The volume is 6 × 3.61 = 21.66unit³

answer: c.  

step-by-step explanation:

mixtures containing substances that get attracted to magnet can be separated using a magnet. we can separate iron from a mixture of sand and iron, as only iron attracts to the magnet.
