Answer 1

It's important to know that the volume formula for a rectangular prism is

`V=l\cdot w\cdot h`

Where V = 5, l = 8, and w = 1. Let's use these values and find h

`\begin{gathered} 5m^3=8m\cdot1m\cdot h \\ h=(5m^3)/(8m^2) \\ h=0.625m \end{gathered}`

Hence, the height of the prism is 0.625 meters.
