If a rectangular prism and a cylinder have the same height and volume, what is their cross sectional area parallel to the bases if the base of the rectangular prism has a length of 5 inches and a width of 2 inches?

10 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular prism volume = area of the base * height

Cylinder volume = area of the base * height

Given that the volumes are equal, then the areas are equal.

Area of the base of the rectangular prism = length * width = 5*2 = 10 square inches = Area of the base of the cylinder

Their cross sectional area parallel to the bases are congruent to the bases.

chemists are often responsible for designing a chemical reaction and analyzing the products obtained from it. one significant part of designing a chemical reaction is determining the amount of each reactant that is needed and the amount of each product that will be produced. in order to do so, chemists use stoichiometry, the quantitative relationships between reactants and products.

yeah i know the problem you need. i am taking it right now. the answer is step 3
