18.8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A prism is a solid shape. It is expected to have a base area and an height which are used to calculate its volume.

The base area is expected to have length and width. In this particular question, the base area was given as 94ft squared.

Now, we do not need the height in this case. To get the length of the chest, we simply divide the area by the width of the chest.

This is mathematically equal to 94/5 = 18.8ft
