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...
No.
There is no direct relationship.
Surface area = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh

Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.

Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
