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**.
