To find the volume of a rectangular prism when given the surface area, we need more information than just the surface area. The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. Without knowing at least one of these dimensions, we cannot determine the volume of the prism.
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.

Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. This formula accounts for the two faces of each dimension (length, width, and height) on the rectangular prism.
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
You cannot.
To find the surface area of an equilateral triangular prism you take the area of the rectangular sides and the triangular bases and add them up and your done.

The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.

u have to find the surface area for individual sides. so lxw for each individual side
