S =2(lw+lh +wh) where h= height, l=length, and w = width

You must state what the shape of the base is (a triangle, a square, a pentagon,etc). The base has an area and you say it is 14. If it were a square, then a side would be sqrt(14). Then we could find the slant height by using the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height is neede to compute the area of one of the lateral faces. This problem cannot be solved as stated.

V= 7*7*1.15= 56.35 ft^3

Sorry, that is impossible for the base to be a square and have different values for L,W, and H.
The volume of the prism you stated is 10*11*15.

Volume = 1/3Bh
B = 8*6 =48
So V= 1/3(48)(8) = 16*8 = 128 ft^3

s = 4*pi*r^2
s = 4*3.14*35.4^2 = 15,747.67 ft^2
I assume you mean that a gallon of paint will cover 10 square feet. If so the 1574.77 gallons of paint are required. if you meant 1 gallon would cover a 10 foot square, then only
157.48 gallons would be required.

You should state your problems more accurately if you want to get accurate answers.

im not sure about the surface area ones...but hte formula to find volume is length times width times height...lwh
