The total surface area of the box is 3,1003,100.
The volume of the box is 6,0006,000.

Explanation:

The surface area of a box is calculated using the formula:

A=2(lxxw)+2(wxxh)+2(hxxl)A=2(l×w)+2(w×h)+2(h×l)

Using the given data:

A=2(5xx30)+2(30xx40)+2(40xx5)A=2(5×30)+2(30×40)+2(40×5)

A=2(150)+2(1200)+2(200)A=2(150)+2(1200)+2(200)

A=300+2400+400A=300+2400+400

A=3,100A=3,100

The volume of a box is calculated using the formula:

V=lxxwxxhV=l×w×h

Using the given data:

V=5xx30xx40V=5×30×40

V=5xx1200V=5×1200

V=6,000V=6,000
