The volume of a rectangular prism is simply the product of the length, the width, and the height. This is from the general formula for the volume of a prism which is the product of the area of the base and the height.  If you know the measurements of the length, width, and height, you can easily calculate the volume.

Large rectangles = 2 x 3 x 6
medium rectangles = 2 x 2 x 6
small rectangles = 2 x 2 x 3

surface area = large rectangles + medium rectangles + small rectangles = 36 + 24 + 12 = 72 cm^2
