You can put this solution on YOUR website!

length = 10
width = 5
height = 9

volume is equal to 10 * 5 * 9 = 450

surface area is equal to (10* + 10*9 + 5*9) * 2
this is equal to (50 + 90 + 45) * 2
this is equal to 185 * 2
this is equal to 370.

you have volume = 450 and surface area = 370.

that should do, i think.
