The cross-sectional areas of a triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. the triangular prism has a height of 5 units, and the right cylinder has a height of 5 units. which conclusion can be made from the given information?

Sagot :

The conclusion can be made from the given information

The volume of the triangular prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder

Given that there are two figures

1. A right triangular prism

2. Right cylinder

The area of the cross-section of the prism is equal to the Area of a cross-section of the cylinder.

Let this value be A.

Also given that the Height of prism = Height of cylinder = 6

The volume of a prism is will be :

[tex]V _{prism} = cross section area \times height[/tex]

[tex]V _{prism} = A \times 6 = 6A[/tex]  (1)

The Cross section of the cylinder is a circle.

hence the Area of the circle will be:

Area of cross-section, A = [tex]\pi \times r^2[/tex]

so, the Volume of the cylinder will be :

[tex]V _{cylinder} = \pi \times r^2 \times h[/tex]

[tex]V _{cylinder} = A \times h = A \times 6 = 6A[/tex]  (2)

From equations (1) and (2) we can say that

The volume of the triangular prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder.

What is a triangular prism?

  • A three-sided polyhedron consisting of a triangle base, a translated copy, and three faces connecting equivalent sides is known as a triangular prism in geometry.
  • If the sides of a right triangular prism are not rectangular, the prism is oblique. Right triangle prisms with square sides and equilateral bases are known as uniform triangle prisms.
  • It is, in essence, a polyhedron with two parallel sides and three surface normals that are all in the same plane (which is not necessarily parallel to the base planes).
  • There are parallelograms in these three faces. The identical triangle appears in every cross-section running parallel to the base faces.
