Question

Which is true about the volume or surface area of these prisms?

A.
The surface area of A is greater than the surface area of B.

B.
The surface area of B is greater than the surface area of A.

C.
The volume of B is greater than the volume of A.

D.
The volume of A is greater than the volume of B.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B- The surface area of B is greater than the surface area of A. I got this answer because...

Figure A's Volume= 60

Figure B's Volume= 60

Figure A's Surface Area= 104

Figure B's Surface Area= 248

So because the volumes are the same I knew it was not C or D, and then I solved the Surface Area for figures a and b and knew the correct answer is B.

Hope that helps. :)
