Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

The volume $V$ of a right - rectangular prism is given by $V = l\times w\times h$, where $l$ is the length, $w$ is the width and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Identify dimensions

Here, $l = 4$ inches, $w=2$ inches and $h = 5$ inches.

Step3: Calculate volume

$V=4\times2\times5=40$ cubic inches.

Answer:

a. (Since no picture - drawing tool is available in text, we can describe the labeling: On the longer side of the base label 4 inches, on the shorter side of the base label 2 inches, and on the vertical side label 5 inches)
b. The volume of the box is 40 cubic inches.
