The volume of a right rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. The formula for volume is:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]

For the given dimensions:

  • Length = 8 meters
  • Width = 10 meters
  • Height = 5 meters

Calculating the volume:

\[ \text{Volume} = 8 , \text{m} \times 10 , \text{m} \times 5 , \text{m} = 400 , \text{m}^3 \]

Since volume is expressed in cubic units, the unit that would properly express the volume of this right rectangular prism is cubic meters.

So the correct response is:

cubic meters
