What is the width of a rectangular prism with the volume of 100 units cubed, height of 10 units, and length of 5 units?(1 point)

Answer 1

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

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

Given:

• Volume = 100 cubic units
• Height = 10 units
• Length = 5 units

You can rearrange the volume formula to solve for width:

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

Plugging in the given values:

\[ \text{Width} = \frac{100}{5 \times 10} \] \[ \text{Width} = \frac{100}{50} \] \[ \text{Width} = 2 \text{ units} \]

So, the width of the rectangular prism is 2 units.
