A square based prism and a cylinder both have the same height of 12 in. and the same base
area. The volume of the cylinder is 3768 in.?
Based on the concepts of Cavalieri's principle,
what is the perimeter of the base of the prism?

Parameter of base = 70.88 inch (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of cylinder = 3768 cubic inch

Height of Prism = 12 inch

Find;

Parameter of base

Computation:

Volume of cylinder = Volume of Prism

3768 = (L)(B)(H)

3768 = (L)(B)(12)

(L)(B) = 314

L = B

So.

L = 17.72 inch

B = 17.72 inch

Parameter of base = 2[l+b]

Parameter of base = 2[17.72 + 17.72]

Parameter of base = 70.88 inch (Approx.)
