Aright rectangular prism has base dimensions of 3 inches by 12 inches and a height of 5 inches. an oblique rectangular prism has base dimensions of 4 inches by 9 inches and a height of 5 inches. are the volumes the same?

Yes they are. Given that a volume of a rectangular prism is V=l•w•h, we can plug them into an equation and compare them. I'll call the Right rectangular prism figure R and the oblique rectangular prism O

For Figure R, We know all the basic needs to find the volume. This means we can plug it in.

V=l•w•h
V=12•3•5
Now We can solve for V
V=12•15
V=180

The volume of the right rectangular prism is 180in^3

Now, For figure O.
V=9•4•5
V=9•20
V= 180.

With this in mind, We now can say that the volumes of both the rectangular prisms are the same.

B. The volumes are equal, because the heights are equal and the horizontal cross-sectional areas at every level are also equal.
