Since the image is a rectangular prism
The volume of the box can be obtained by using the formula:
Volume = l x b x h
The box has a dimension of 1ft x 4ft x 6ft
The volume of the box = 1 x 4 x 6 = 24 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of sand needed to fill the box will be = 24 cubic feet of sand
The surface area of the box can be obtained using the formula:
2(lb + lh + bh)
= 2(1x4 + 1x6 + 4x6)
=2(4 + 6 + 24)
=2 (34)
= 68 square feet
Therefore a total surface area of 68 square feet needs to be painted
