volume: THREE dimensional: length x heigth x width(or \"deep\", it doesn't matter what you call it, as long as there are three dimensions): 10 x 3 x 4 = 120 inches cubed, or \"cubic inches\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "surface area: TWO dimensional: add up each face of the box: that is, the area of each of the six sides. two opposite sides are 3 x 4 = 12; two are 3 x 10 = 30, two are 4 x 10 = 40:
\n" ); document.write( "add them up,
\n" ); document.write( "2*12 + 2*30 + 2*40
\n" ); document.write( "24 + 60 + 80
\n" ); document.write( "= 164
\n" ); document.write( "Surface area of the exterior sides of the box = 164 in. squared, or \"square inches\"
