Yes, they can. They can also have the same surface area, but different volume.
There are 4 of them.
Volume = Length * Width * Height.
No.
There is no direct relationship.
well, they can, but they dont have to be no. :)

Two different rectangular prisms can both have the same volume of 72 cm3
The volume of a rectangular prism is its cross-section area times its length.

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.

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.
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
