Given: 
Right Rectangular Prism.
It has its length, width, and height.

Surface area of a right rectangular prism has this formula:
SA = 2 (wl + hl + hw)

Volume of a right rectangular prism has this formula
V = whl

Formula of Surface Area is different from Volume.

Surface
area measures the area the whole rectangular prism surface. It computes
for the area of all 6 faces that a right rectangular prism has.

Volume measures the area within the rectangular prism. It is the space that is enclosed within the rectangular prism.
