Answer: You could change the order of the height, length and width and the shape would still have the same surface area.

For example, you could make the height only 4, the length 6 and the width 5. This would make the rectangular prism shorter and wider. However, the surface area would remain the same.

As long as you keep the same three measurements, 6, 5, and 4, the surface area will remain the same.
