I assume the height of 4 cm includes the cover
outside box is 6 x 5 x 4
inside it is 4 x 3 x 2

volume outside = 120
volume inside = 24 (b)
so volume wood = 120 - 24 = 96 (a)

length = 4
width = 3
depth = 2 -1 for cover = 1
so area bottom inside = 4*3 = 12
area sides = 2*4*1 = 8
area ends = 2 *3 * 1 = 6
so
12 + 8 + 6 = 26
