Answer 1

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

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

Given:

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

We can plug in the values into the formula:

\[ 1,000 = 20 \times \text{width} \times 10 \]

Next, we can simplify the equation:

\[ 1,000 = 200 \times \text{width} \]

Divide both sides by 200:

\[ \text{width} = \frac{1,000}{200} = 5 \]

So, the width of the prism is 5.
