Answer 1

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

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

Where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( l \) is the length,
- \( w \) is the width,
- \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- Volume \( V = 100 \) cubic units,
- Height \( h = 10 \) units,
- Length \( l = 5 \) units.

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

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

Now, substituting the known values:

\[
w = \frac{100}{5 \times 10}
\]

Calculating the denominator:

\[
5 \times 10 = 50
\]

Now substituting:

\[
w = \frac{100}{50} = 2
\]

So, the width of the rectangular prism is \( 2 \) units.
