Question

If the base of right rectangular prism remains constant and the measures of the lateral edges are halved. Then its volume will be reduced by:

• A. 50%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 66.66%
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 50%

Volume of prism = Base area $\times$ height
Since base area is constant and height is being halved therefore volume will also be halved. Hence, its volume will be reduced by 50%.
