Answer:

the length is 5 times the width of the prism

Explanation:

the volume of this rectangular prism is
5x^3

volume of the prism = length * width * height

Length of the prism = 5x

Width = x

height =x

Length of the prism = 5x = 5* width of the prism

So, the length is 5 times the width of the prism
