Answer:

  2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For the same-height prisms to have equal volumes, their base areas must be the same. If x is the unknown dimension of the rectangle, this requires ...

  (5 in)^2 = (10 in)x

  x = (25 in^2)/(10 in) = 2.5 in

The width of the rectangle is 2.5 inches.
