Answer:

VOLUME = 240 in ³

SURFACE AREA = 124 in ²

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

l x w x h,

where in this case:

l = 8 in

w = 6 in

h = 5 in

So, the total volume would be:

8 in x 6 in x 5 in = 240 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 ( 8 in x 6 in + 8 in x 5 in + 6 in x 3 in ) = 124 in ² ( squared )
