what is the width of a rectangular prism with the volume of 100 units cubed, height of 10 units, and length of 5 units

Answer 1

To find the width of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula for the volume $V$ of a rectangular prism, which is given by:

$$V=\text{length}\times \text{width}\times \text{height}$$

In this case, you have:

• $V=100$ cubic units
• $\text{length}=5$ units
• $\text{height}=10$ units

You can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:

$$\text{width}=\frac{V}{\text{length}\times \text{height}}$$

Now substitute the known values:

$$\text{width}=\frac{100}{5\times 10}$$

Calculating the denominator:

$$5\times 10=50$$

Now, substitute back into the equation:

$$\text{width}=\frac{100}{50}=2$$

Thus, the width of the rectangular prism is $2$ units.
