You cannot.
It is not possible. For example, the prism could be tall and thin, or short and thick, and either way have the same surface area.

Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
You cannot.
To find the surface area of an equilateral triangular prism you take the area of the rectangular sides and the triangular bases and add them up and your done.
It is not possible. For example, the prism could be tall and thin, or short and thick, and either way have the same surface area.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.

u have to find the surface area for individual sides. so lxw for each individual side
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
