Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the two prisms have bases of equal area.
Then the volume of the rectangular prism is V = (base area)(height).
The volume of the triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height)
We could compare the two volumes by creating the ratio inequality
(1/3) (base area)(t-height)
------------------------------------------
(base area)(r-height)
The triangular prism will have the greater volume for (1/3)((t-height) > r-height.
