Answer 1

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

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

Given:

• Volume = 1,000
• Height = 10
• Length = 20

We can rearrange the formula to solve for width:

\[ \text{width} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{length} \times \text{height}} \]

Now plug in the values:

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

Calculate \(20 \times 10\):

\[ 20 \times 10 = 200 \]

Now substitute that back into the equation:

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

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{width} = 5 \]

Thus, the width of the rectangular prism is 5.
