The width is
cm.

Answer 1

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

\[ V = l \cdot w \cdot h \]

Given:

• Volume \( V = 10 , \text{cm}^3 \)
• Length \( l = 1 , \text{cm} \)
• Height \( h = 5 , \text{cm} \)

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

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

Now, substituting the values:

\[ w = \frac{10 , \text{cm}^3}{1 , \text{cm} \cdot 5 , \text{cm}} \]

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 1 \cdot 5 = 5 \]

Now substituting back:

\[ w = \frac{10}{5} = 2 , \text{cm} \]

So, the width is:
