Let me be a bit clearer. You could say the radiant power emitted by a black body at constant uniform temperature is either:

1) A function of its temperature and surface area

or

2) A function of its temperature, mass, shape(not size) and density.

or

3) A function of its temperature, shape and size.

or

4) A function of its temperature, price, shape(not size) and price per volume.


It seems to me that 2 and 4 are just as good as each other, and both pretty useless since we have 1 available.
