They could wind up to be the same number, but the units are different, so area is never
really equal to volume.
Take a cube with an edge of 6 inches.
Its total surface area is 6s2 = 216 square inches. Its volume is s3 = 216 cubic inches.
The '216' parts are the same, but square inches are not equal to cubic inches.
However, there are 10 rectangular prisms with side lengths whole number multiples of a unit, and the number of unit3 is the same as the number of unit3.
They are:
(3, 7, 42), (3, 8, 26), (3, 9, 18), (3, 10, 15), (3, 12, 12), (4, 5, 20), (4, 6, 12), (4, 8, 8), (5, 5, 10), and (6, 6, 6).

Can the volume of a prism ever be the same as its surface area?
The can be numerically the same, but understand that area and volume are different physical quantities. Let the dimensions of the prism be length = a, width = b, height = c Area = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac = 2(ab+bc+ac) Volume = abc The numerical value of the area can equal that of the volume if and only if: 2(ab+bc+ac) = abc (if a = b = c, the prism is a cube, and the numerical area will equal the numerical volume if and only if the edge of the cube is 6 units long and the area is measured in the square of those units and the volume is measured in the cube of those units)
How do you figure cubic feet for a raised bed garden?
find the volume of the area and divide it by the area i think.... Wasnt really ever good at math sorry
