Question

the volume of this rectangular prism is 5x^3. what does the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem? height = x width = x length = 5x a. the width is 5 times the height and the length. b. the length is 5 times the width. c. the total volume of the prism is 5 cubic units. d. the length of the prism is 5 units.

Explanation:

Given length = 5x, width = x, height = x. The coefficient 5 in 5x (length) shows that the length is 5 times the width (since width is x).

Answer:

B. The length is 5 times the width.
