The units that would express the volume of a right rectangular prism with a length of 8 meters, a width of 10 meters, and a height of 5 meters are cubic meters.
The volume of a right rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height together. In this case, the given length is 8 meters, the width is 10 meters, and the height is 5 meters. To find the volume, you can multiply these three dimensions together:
Volume = length × width × height
Volume = 8 meters × 10 meters × 5 meters
Since the units of length are in meters and we're multiplying three quantities of meters together, the resulting units will be in cubic meters. Therefore, the correct answer is "cubic meters".
