The answer will depend on the shape (and size) of the box: some have a rectangular cross-section, others circular.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
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.

Multiply length x width.
you multiply the length times width times height.
The answer will depend on the shape (and size) of the box: some have a rectangular cross-section, others circular.
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
