Question

The length, width, and height of a rectangular prism is a, (a-13), and (a+13) respectively, which statement best describes (a-13)a. the width of the rectangular prism is 13 units less than the lengthb. the height of the rectangular prism is 13 units more than the lenghtc. the width of the rectangular prism is 13 units less than the heightd. the length of the rectangular prism is 13 units less than the weight

Answer 1

a. The width of the rectangular prism is 13 units less than the length.

Explanation:

From the information given we know that

a = length of rectangular prism and

`a - 13` = width of rectangular prism

An expression like
`a - 13` means that we need to subtract 13 units from the length to obtain the width of the rectangular prism.

Therefore,

The width of the rectangular prism is 13 units less than the length.
