The answer depends on the ratio of what characteristic you want.
Ratios of interest are between any two linear measures, or all three;
the surface area to volume,
mass to volume (density),
speed of light in air (vacuum) and the prism material (refractive index); and so on.
In the first two examples above, the shape of the prism is relevant, in the second two, the material that it is made of will matter.

A prism has a square base whose edges each measure 5 centimeters. The ratio of its height to its width is 4 1. Find the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic centimeters?
Volume of rectangular prism: 5*5*20 = 500 cubic cm
How do the dimensions and volume of similar rectangular prisms compare?
If the ratio of the dimensions of the larger prism to the smaller prism is r then the ratio of their volumes is r^3.
How do you find the volume of a rectangluar prism?
Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
How do you find the dimensions of a rectangular prism from centimeter cubes?
Just knowing the volume in centimeters cubed of a rectangular prism would not allow you to find the dimensions.
How do you find the answer of the base area of a rectangular prism?
The base of a rectangular prism is a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width.
