a rectangular prism is a box with 6 sides
4 sides are x*y
2 sides x*z
add themm up to get surface area.
4*x*y+2*x*z=2200
x* y*z=6000
volume would be x*y*z
not enough info we have three unknowns and only two equations.
some possible answers are
20,20,15
20,10,24
25,12,20
for integer answers
but they could be fractions
