A movie theature offers two containers. One container is a traiangular prism with a base area of 12cm and 19 cm of height, for $6.75. The other is a rectangular prism with a base area of 8cm and a height of 15cm, for $6.25. Which container is the better value? Use 3.14 as an approximation for pie

rectangular container

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangular prism area: A = 1/3 * base area * height

                                        = 1/3 * 12 * 19

                                        = 76 cm²

Rectangular prism: A = base area * height

                                   = 8 * 15

                                   = 120 cm²

The rectangular container has a better value because it has a bigger area and is cheaper.

Hope this helps!
