total edge length = 60
volume = 125
surface area = 150
To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism all you need to do is take the product of length, width, and height. The surface area is slightly more complex, and is equal to 2×length×width + 2×length×height + 2×width×height. The total edge length is 4×(length + width + height).
