Do you mean the base?
Answered by Cody
wellit it is possible with B=0 and H=0
b is base and h is height. But i don't think having a 0 0 cube is possible! :)

Sure
Example: B-8 H-3 and B-6 H-4

H-8 D-1 W-1 and H-6 D-4 W-1
Answered by Cody
no for the first one the surface area would be 17? Surface area= BH+BW+WH
Answered by Reiny
sure it is.
e.g.

consider a volume of 60 cm^3

box #1: 3x4x5
vol = 60
Surface area = 2(3x4 + 3x5 + 4x5) = 94

box #2: 6x2x5
volume = 60
Surface area = 2(6x2 + 6x5 + 4x5) = 124
