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.
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
Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.
It is length * width.
