To figure out the surface area of a reactangular prism you have to multiply length x width and then multiply that by how many faces it has, to figure out volume you multiply the length x width x height of the prism and than you will find your answer!!!!!

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.
How many different rectangular prisms can you make with a volume of 18 cubic units?
There are 4 of them.
How can you calculate the volume of a rectangular object such as a shoe box?
Volume = Length * Width * Height.
If you double the volume of a rectangular prism does its surface area double?
No.
What is the relationship between surface area and volume of a rectangular prism?
There is no direct relationship.
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. :)
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.

Why is the volume of rectangular prisms important to the world?
Rectangular prisms are shapes which are easy to stack. As a result. many goods are transported in the form of rectangular prisms, or shapes approximating them: eg six packs of cans, ream of printer paper, bundle of newspapers. Furthermore, they are bundled together on palettes, into shipping containers, etc which are also rectangular prisms.

What are some differences between rectangular and triangular prisms?
The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.
What has the same volume but different surface area?
This will usually be the case for objects that have different shapes: even if they have the same volume, it is unlikely that they have the same surface area. As an example, calculate the volume and surface area of the following two rectangular block shapes: 1) A 2 x 2 x 2 rectangular block 2) A 1 x 1 x 8 rectangular block
