To determine the volume and surface area of the solid, we need to confirm the shape you are referring to. Given the dimensions 4 in, 6 in, and 5 in, it seems we might be dealing with a rectangular prism (also known as a rectangular box).

Volume Calculation:

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is given by:

\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Assuming the dimensions are as follows:

  • Length \( l = 6 \) in
  • Width \( w = 4 \) in
  • Height \( h = 5 \) in

The volume calculation would be:

\[ V = 6 , \text{in} \times 4 , \text{in} \times 5 , \text{in} \]

\[ V = 120 , \text{cubic inches} \]

Surface Area Calculation:

The formula for the surface area \( A \) of a rectangular prism is given by:

\[ A = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

Using the same dimensions:

\[ A = 2(6 , \text{in} \times 4 , \text{in} + 6 , \text{in} \times 5 , \text{in} + 4 , \text{in} \times 5 , \text{in}) \]

Calculating each term:

  • \( lw = 6 \times 4 = 24 \)
  • \( lh = 6 \times 5 = 30 \)
  • \( wh = 4 \times 5 = 20 \)

Therefore:

\[ A = 2(24 + 30 + 20) = 2(74) = 148 , \text{square inches} \]

Final Answers:

  • Volume: 120 cubic inches
  • Surface Area: 148 square inches
