Answer:

Length: 4

.Width : 4

Height :10

Explanation:

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by :-


V=l* w* h, where l is length, w is width and h is height of the rectangular prism.

Now, The volume of prism A will be :-


V=8*4*5=160\text{ feet}^3

Check all the options.


  1. V=6*10*2=120\text{ feet}^3

  2. V=4*4*10=160\text{ feet}^3

  3. V=5*4*7=140\text{ feet}^3

  4. V=8*4*6=192\text{ feet}^3

We can see that only option 2. has the same volume as prism A.

Therefore, the dimensions of prism B will be :

Length: 4

.Width : 4

Height :10
