Question

the volume of this rectangular prism is 5x^3. what does the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem?

Answer 1

it's C, assuming x always has the same value

Answer 2

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
