If you double the cross-sectional area and halve the length, you will still have the same volume but the dimensions will be different.

Is it possible for two rectangular prisms to have the same volume but not the same measurements?
Two different rectangular prisms can both have the same volume of 72 cm3
What are the dimensions of a 1.2 cubic foot box in inches?
You can't tell the dimensions from the volume. There are an infinite number of different sets of dimensions that all have the same volume.
Two rectangular prisms that have the same volume and the same height would their base be different or the same?
They would have to have the same base area, if that's what you mean.
What are the dimensions of two rectangular prisms with the same surface area?
Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
Would the surface area of a triangular prism stay the same even if the dimensions were different?
No. There is no reason for the surface area of all triangular prisms to be the same always. For example, increasing the length of the prism only adds area; there is nothing to counteract this increase, so the area must be different.The same applies to all prisms and 3-dimensional objects: changing the dimensions can alter the area.

Can two rectangular prisms have the same surface area but different volume?
Yes, they can. They can also have the same surface area, but different volume.
Can two prisms have the same volume with different heights?
It depends, can you change the width and the length??

Yes, they can. They can also have the same surface area, but different volume.
Is volume same even if shape is different?
Two different shapes can have the same volume, depending on the dimensions of each one.

If two rectangular prisms have the same volume do they have the same surface area?
well, they can, but they dont have to be no. :)

How are volume and surface area the same?
Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space. The dimensions are different and so equality is not possible.Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space.

What is the height of a rectangular prism with a volume of 240 cubic inches?
Knowing the volume doesn't tell you what any of the dimensions has to be. There are an infinite number of different possibilities that all have the same volume.
