Want this question answered?
Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.
Cylinders are circles pulled out into the third dimension and rectangular prisms are rectangles pulled into the third dimension.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
Add up all of the lengths of the edges adjacent to one of the bases.

They are all rectangular prisms!

They both have a rectangle at the bottom of the two prisms.
well, they can, but they dont have to be no. :)
Yes, you can.
They all have cross sections that remain constant when intersected by a plane perpendicular to their lengths.
This is because there is no limit on rectangualar prisms and most boxes can hold cube or rectangular prisms not triangular pyrimids or prisms or hexagonal prisms.
