The surface are is 136 sq in.
You have to find the area of each of the six sides.
2 sides will have dimensions of 8x3 (48 sq in)
2 sides will have dimensions of 8x4 (64 sq in)
2 sides will have dimensions of 3x4 (24 sq in)
Finally add them all up.
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.
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.
You can't tell the dimensions of a rectangle from its area, or the dimensions of a prism from its volume.

Surface area = 2lw + 2wh + 2hl
Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
136 in.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
It depends on the dimensions of the rectangular prism.
308 units cubed
A rectangular prism has 3 dimensions. Whereas the rectangle has only 2 dimensions.
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.
3
The answer depends on their relative dimensions.
You can't tell the dimensions of a rectangle from its area, or the dimensions of a prism from its volume.
