You can't tell the dimensions of a rectangle from its area,
or the dimensions of a prism from its volume.

Just knowing the volume in centimeters cubed of a rectangular prism would not allow you to find the dimensions.
Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
You cannot. It could be a long narrow prism or a short squat one and the volume alone does not tell you which one of these shapes - or something in between - the prism has.
The answer depends on what information you have been provided with. If you have only the linear dimensions then it is:Length * Breadth * Height
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.
