Answer:
- greater area: A
- no, B has the greater volume
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant area and volume formulas are ...
A = 2(LW +H(L +W))
V = LWH
When there are multiple instances of the calculations to be done, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet do them. The results are attached.
Figure A has the larger area.
Figure B has the larger volume.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The more "cube-like" the prism is, the less area it will have for the same volume. Here, package B is more "cube-like" than package A. (The ratio of largest-to-smallest dimensions is smaller for package B.)
