To determine how much water a rectangular prism can hold, you would use the volume. The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height (Volume = length × width × height). This gives you the total capacity of the prism.
The surface area, on the other hand, measures the total area of all the faces of the prism and does not provide information about its capacity to hold water.
