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

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

In this case, the dimensions of the rectangular prism are:

  • Height = 5 feet
  • Width = 20 feet
  • Length = 5 feet

Plugging in the values:

\[ V = 5 , \text{feet} \times 20 , \text{feet} \times 5 , \text{feet} \]

Calculating this:

\[ V = 5 \times 20 = 100 \] \[ V = 100 \times 5 = 500 \]

Thus, the volume \( V \) is:

\[ V = 500 , \text{cubic feet} \]

So the volume of the rectangular prism is \( 500 , \text{feet}^3 \).
