Question : Prism A and Prism B have the same volume. Which could be the dimensions of prism B?

Prism A :

Length = 8 feet

Width = 4 feet

Height = 5 feet

Prism B:

Length = ? feet

Width = ? feet

Height = ? feet

Option 1:

Length = 6 feet

Width = 10 feet

Height = 2 feet

Option 2:

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Height = 10 feet

Option 3:

Length = 5 feet

Width = 4 feet

Height = 7 feet

Option 4:

Length = 8 feet

Width = 4 feet

Height = 6 feet

Here, the dimensions of the prism B will be length = 4 feet, width = 4 feet, and height = 10 feet.

We know that if the a and b be the length and width of the base respectively and c be the height of a prism, then the volume of the prism is abc.

Given that

length of 1st prism = 8 feet

width of 1st prism = 4 feet

height of 1st prism = 5 feet

So volume of 1st prism = 8 * 4 * 5 = 160 feet³

Now the volume of 1st and 2nd prisms are the same.

So, we have to check the options for length, width, and height of the 2nd prism.

1st option:

Height = 6 feet

Width = 10 feet

Length = 2 feet

So, volume = 6 * 10 * 2 = 120 feet³

Then the 1st option is incorrect.

2nd option:

Height = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Length = 10 feet

So, volume = 4 * 4 * 10 = 160 feet³

Then the 2nd option is correct.

Therefore, the dimensions of the prism B will be length = 4 feet, width = 4 feet, and height = 10 feet. The 2nd option is correct.
