The length of a certain rectangular solid is 13 and the dimensions of the solid are all integers. The area of one of the faces of the rectangular solid is 12
A. Quantity A is greater
B. Quantity B is greater
C. The two quantities are equal
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given
In the solution, they replace the W*H portion of the L*W*H volume formula with 12. However, I thought area was L*W, not L*H. Anyone know why they are able to do that?

This is it.
For my understand of the question the answer should be D
We know that the length is 13 but this any L of the figure above. Therefore 13 could be the side of the square in front of the solid or the longest side at the bottom
