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

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

We know that:

  • Volume = 1,000
  • Length = 20
  • Height = 10
  • Width = ?

We can rearrange the formula to solve for width:

\[ \text{width} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{length} \times \text{height}} \]

Substituting the known values:

\[ \text{width} = \frac{1000}{20 \times 10} \]

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 20 \times 10 = 200 \]

Now substituting back:

\[ \text{width} = \frac{1000}{200} = 5 \]

Therefore, the width of the prism is 5.
