dont give incorrect awnsers

Answer 1

15in x 5in x 5in or 3in x 5in x 25in

Explanation:

First, I would find the prime factorization of 375

Prime Factorization of 375: 3 × 5 × 5 × 5

Since a rectangular prism has three dimensions, we need to multiply one of the terms with another term in the prime factorization. Since in this problem. there are three 5's, the possible answers are:

15in x 5in x 5in

or

3in x 5in x 25in
