Multiple Choice
a) Cavalieri’s Principle states that any two objects with equal volume must have the same height.
True
False - if two objects have equal volume must have the same BASE, not height
False - if two objects have equal volume must have the same SLANT HEIGHT, not height
False - if two objects have the same base and height, they must have the same volume.
3
Multiple Choice
An oblique shape will always have the same volume as a right shape if they have the same base.
True
False - an oblique shape and a right shape can never have the same volume
False - an oblique shape and a right shape can't have the same base
False - an oblique shape will always have the same volume as a right shape if they have the same base AND height
4
Multiple Choice
a) Cavalieri’s Principle states that any two objects with the same cross sectional areas and heights must have the same volume.
True
False - the cross sectional areas are not relevant
False - only the slant height is relevant
False - even if they have the same cross sectional areas and heights, they cannot have the same volume.

Multiple Choice
The shapes below have the Base Areas and Heights. Which will have the same volume. Which ones will have the same volumes based on Cavalieri's Principle?
Rectangular Pyramid and Triangular Prism
Rectangular Pyramid and Cone
Triangular Prism and Cone
All three.
13
Multiple Choice
Based on Cavalieri's Principle, will the two prisms have the same volume?
No, they will not be same. Although the heights are the same, the cross-sections are different shapes.
Yes, the heights of both prisms are the same and they have the same cross-sectional area. Therefore, they will have the same volume.
