Explanation of Solution
Given:
Prism:
Where,
Length:
Width:
Height:
Concept Used:
The concept of comparing the volumes of prism is used.
Volume is the space occupied by any object. It is measured in cubic units. While taking example of a rectangular prism having 12 cubic units because it is made of 12 cubic units.
Calculation:
Volume of prismis given by the formula,
Volume=
Here all the sides of prism are same including the length, breadth and height. The volume can be calculated by multiplying the length, breadth and height of the prism.
Hence the volumes of prism can be compared by calculating the
Conclusion:
Hence, the volume of cylinder can be compared by the total volume of prism.
