    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.
