I'm assuming you're dealing with a rectangular prism.
120/5 = 24
so the width W and the height H must multiply to 24, ie, W*H = 24
There are infinitely many ways to do this if you allow W & H to be any positive real numbers, but thankfully there are a finite number of ways to do it if they are both positive whole numbers
The list of possibilities are...
W = 1, H = 24
W = 2, H = 12
W = 3, H = 8
W = 4, H = 6
W = 6, H = 4
W = 8, H = 3
W = 12, H = 2
W = 24, H = 1
again, this is assuming W and H are positive whole numbers
