Use Cavalieri's principle to compare volumes for two prisms with equal height and equal cross-sectional area at every level.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.

Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Check whether the solids have the same height.
2. Compare cross-sectional areas at corresponding heights.
3. Apply Cavalieri's principle if all cross-sections match.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Comparing only base areas when cross-sections differ through height.
