Answer 4

Back to the first figure where Volume is the question, assuming those are 1 inch cubes, just count them, I counted 36 or 36 cubic inches is the volume.

Your second sreen shot is asking for surface area.

Answer 5

For the second figure, where "surface area" is the question, you must sum up all of the faces of the figure. There are normally 6 faces for a rectangular prism.

Answer 6

Surface Area = areas of front, back, left side, right side, top side and bottom side all added together.

Answer 7

Good luck with your studies.

Answer 8

the above is correct.
the surface area is also the perimeter of the base * the height
