Answer:

Explanation:

Volume

V = B * h

B = 1/2 a * b

Solution

Area of Triangles = B = 1/2 * 6 * 8

Area of Triangles = B = 24 square inches

Volume = B * H

Volume = 24 * 12

Volume = 288 cu in

Surface Area

Triangles

Area of one triangle = 24 square inches [ See Above ]

Area of two triangles = 48 square inches

Left Side

Area = L * W

L = 12

W = 8

Area = 12 * 8

Area = 96

Right side

Area = L * W

L = 12

W = 6

Area = 12 * 6

Area = 72

Area Back

L = 12

W = 10

Area = 12 * 10

Area = 120

Total = 120 + 72 + 96 + 48 = 336 square inches
