Answer 1

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

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

In this case, the dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
- Height = 5 feet
- Width = 20 feet
- Length = 5 feet

Plugging in the values:

\[
V = 5 \, \text{feet} \times 20 \, \text{feet} \times 5 \, \text{feet}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
V = 5 \times 20 = 100
\]
\[
V = 100 \times 5 = 500
\]

Thus, the volume \( V \) is:

\[
V = 500 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]

So the volume of the rectangular prism is \( 500 \, \text{feet}^3 \).
