Answer

The volume is 128 centimeters cubed. The surface area is 160 centimeters squared.

Work Step by Step

$V=4\times4\times8$ $V=128$ The volume is 128 centimeters cubed. For surface area, we need to calculate the area of the long rectangular sides and the two square sides. Long rectangular sides: $A=8\times4$ $A=32$ The area of a long rectangular side is 32 centimeters squared. Square side: $A=4\times4$ $A=16$ The area of the square side is 16 centimeters squared. The object has two square sides and four long rectangular sides. $4(32)+2(16)=160$ The surface area is 160 centimeters squared.
