Answer:

length = 4 feet

width = 4 feet

height = 10 feet

Explanation:

First we must find the volume of prism A

Assuming that the prism is a rectangular prism we can easily calculate the volume by multiplying the length by the width by the height

So V = 8 * 4 * 5

8 * 4 = 32

32 * 5 = 160

Hence, the volume of prism a is 160ft²

The question states that the volume of prism A is the same as the volume of prism B. Given that information we want to find the possible dimensions of prism B such that volume of prism A = volume of prism B.

We can do this by find the volume of each answer choice ( again, assuming that their rectangular prism )

For the first answer choice

4 * 4 * 10 = 160

160 = 160 however lets check the other answer choices.

For the second answer choice:

5 * 4 * 7 = 140

140≠160 therefore the second answer choice is not correct

For the third answer choice

8 * 4 * 6 = 192

192 ≠ 160 therefore the third answer choice is not correct

For the fourth answer choice

I can't see the dimensions, however we already know that the answer is the first answer choice.
