Respuesta :

a) for the capacity you should find the volume of the rectangular prism:
[tex]3 \times 2 \times 4= 24[/tex]

b) now you should find the surface area :
[tex](3 \times 2) + (3 \times 2) + (2 \times4) \\ + (2 \times 4) + (3 \times4) + (3 \times 4) [/tex]
[tex]6 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 12 + 12 =52 [/tex]
the answer is 52ft



good luck
