They could wind up to be the same number, but the units are different, so area is never
really equal to volume.
Take a cube with an edge of 6 inches.
Its total surface area is 6s2 = 216 square inches. Its volume is s3 = 216 cubic inches.
The '216' parts are the same, but square inches are not equal to cubic inches.
However, there are 10 rectangular prisms with side lengths whole number multiples of a unit, and the number of unit3 is the same as the number of unit3.
They are:
(3, 7, 42), (3, 8, 26), (3, 9, 18), (3, 10, 15), (3, 12, 12), (4, 5, 20), (4, 6, 12), (4, 8, 8), (5, 5, 10), and (6, 6, 6).

Can the volume of a prism ever be the same as its surface area?
The can be numerically the same, but understand that area and volume are different physical quantities. Let the dimensions of the prism be length = a, width = b, height = c Area = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac = 2(ab+bc+ac) Volume = abc The numerical value of the area can equal that of the volume if and only if: 2(ab+bc+ac) = abc (if a = b = c, the prism is a cube, and the numerical area will equal the numerical volume if and only if the edge of the cube is 6 units long and the area is measured in the square of those units and the volume is measured in the cube of those units)

find the volume of the area and divide it by the area i think.... Wasnt really ever good at math sorry

No.
How do you find a sphere surface area where the radius equals 26cm?
The surface area of every sphere is (4 pi) times (the radius squared).Knowing that, you can find the surface area of not only the one you'reasking about right now, but of every sphere that ever was, is, or will be !

What did Archimedes accomplish?
Archimedes was considered one of the best arithmeticians ever to have lived. He perfected a method of integration which allowed him to find areas, volumes, surface areas, and centers of mass of many geometrical objects.
Why does the internal structure of the lungs has an extensive surface area?
Lungs have large interior surface area because they're not just big bags. On the inside, they're full of a spongy network of smaller, smaller, and ever-smaller air passage-ways, ending in tiny dead-end sacs called alveoli. Every tube, sac, detour, fork in the road, branch, split-off, and tiny dead-end has walls with surface area. The speed at which oxygen can be transferred into the blood stream depends on the collective surface area of the alveoli contained in the lung. That is why we have alveoli, filling the lungs like a sponge. We need the oxygen collected by the bloodstream in order to burn the energy that our body has stored, and a faster input of oxygen allows a faster burning of that energy - hence the advantage of having that maximized surface area. One common result of many years' smoking is that the wall between two adjacent passage-ways shrivels up and disappears, and those two passageways merge and become one. That reduces the surface area in that tiny part of the lung. When it progresses to thousands of tiny parts of the lung, you start to notice it ... you're short of breath, because the interior surface area of your lung is reduced, and you can't grab enough of the oxygen from the air you take in. That's the condition called 'emphysema'.

What type of object has volume?
Volume is a measure of space. Every object that takes up space must have volume. Therefore, every object you will ever encounter must have volume.
