The heights of neither the rectangular prism nor the triangular prism are given, so we don't know the volume of either.
If h is the height of the rectangular prism, then its volume is
if the height of the triangular prism is h/2, then its volume is
So we know the volumes are the same -- but we don't know what that volume is.
