Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem is that length is 5 times breadth and height, where breadth = height = x

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,  

The volume of this rectangular prism is 5x^3.

The equation of volume of rectangular prism is given by,

Volume, V = length x breadth x Height

Here volume = 5X^3

That means, Length x breadth x height = 5x^3

From this we get the length , breadth and height are in proportion of 5 : 1: 1

Therefore,

the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem is that length is 5 times breadth and height, where breadth = height = x
