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

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

We are given:

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

We can rearrange the formula to solve for width \( w \):

\[ w = \frac{V}{l \times h} \]

Now, substituting in the known values:

\[ w = \frac{1000}{20 \times 10} \]

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 20 \times 10 = 200 \]

Now, calculate the width:

\[ w = \frac{1000}{200} = 5 \]

So, the width of the rectangular prism is \( \boxed{5} \).
