Answer:

Volume = 36 in ³ ( cubed )

SA = 66 in ² ( squared )

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

l x w x h,

where in this case:

l = 4 in

w = 3 in

h = 3 in

So, the total volume would be:

4 in x 3 in x 3 in = 36 in ³ ( cubed )

Now the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

2 ( l x w + l x h + w x h )

So if we plug in the values in the formula, we get:

2 ( 4 in x 3 in + 4 in x 3 in + 3 in x 3 in ) = 66 in ² ( squared )
