A cylinder container and a rectangular prism container are both filled with same but unknown fluid. The fluid in the cylinder is 8 meters high while the fluid in the rectangular prism is 7 meters high. The radius of the cylinder container is 1.5 meters while the side of the rectangular prism is 3 meters by 5 meters. Which container experiences less fluid pressure at the bottom given that both containers are resting on the floor?

The rectangular prism container
The cylinder container
They have the same fluid pressure at the bottom since they are resting on the same level.
There is not enough information to determine the answer. The density of the fluid is unknown.
They have the same fluid pressure at the bottom since they are not covered and the atmosphere balances the pressure.
