Answer 1

To find the width of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula for the volume of a prism:

\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Here, you have:

• Volume \( V = 1000 \)
• Length \( = 20 \)
• Height \( = 10 \)

We need to find the width. Plugging in the values:

\[ 1000 = 20 \times \text{width} \times 10 \]

First, calculate \( 20 \times 10 \):

\[ 20 \times 10 = 200 \]

Now, substituting back into the equation:

\[ 1000 = 200 \times \text{width} \]

To find the width, divide both sides by 200:

\[ \text{width} = \frac{1000}{200} = 5 \]

Thus, the width is 5.
