Alright, sure thing!

3mar · Answer

"Volume = base x height"

By the way, he asked about the total surface area!!!!!!!!!

steve816 · Answer

Volume = length x width x height.
Therefore, it would be $$6*4*8$$

steve816 · Answer

He said volume, look at a few posts up.

Whichever one can help lol I guess you @3mar

3mar · Answer

Thanks.
Sorry for late.

For the volume of any prism   = area of the base × height of the prism
For the lateral area of a prism = perimeter of the base × height of the prism
For the total area of a prism    =  lateral area + [ 2 × base area]

* we  assume the prism is a regular right prism.
