The image shows a 2D trapezoidal shape. Since you've asked for "volume" and "area" (implying surface area), I will assume this 2D shape represents the base of a 3D prism, specifically a trapezoidal prism.

To calculate the volume and surface area, specific dimensions are required, such as the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezoid, its height, and the length (or height) of the prism. Since no numerical values are provided in the image, I will provide the general formulas.

Let:

$b_1$ and $b_2$ be the lengths of the two parallel bases of the trapezoid.
$h_t$ be the height of the trapezoid (the perpendicular distance between $b_1$ and $b_2$ ).
$s_1$ and $s_2$ be the lengths of the non-parallel sides of the trapezoid.
$L$ be the length (or height) of the prism.

State the missing information.
To calculate the volume and area numerically, the lengths of the parallel bases ( $b_1, b_2$ ), the height of the trapezoid ( $h_t$ ), the lengths of the non-parallel sides ( $s_1, s_2$ ), and the length of the prism ( $L$ ) are needed.
Provide the formula for the volume of the trapezoidal prism.
The volume ( $V$ ) of a prism is the area of its base multiplied by its length.
The area of a trapezoidal base ( $A_{base}$ ) is $\frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2)h_t$ .
$V = A_{base} \times L$ $\boxed{V = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2)h_t L}$
Provide the formula for the surface area of the trapezoidal prism.
The surface area ( $SA$ ) of a prism is the sum of the areas of its two bases and the area of its lateral faces.
The perimeter of the trapezoidal base ( $P_{base}$ ) is $b_1 + b_2 + s_1 + s_2$ .
The area of the lateral faces is $P_{base} \times L$ .
$SA = 2 \times A_{base} + P_{base} \times L$ $\boxed{SA = (b_1 + b_2)h_t + (b_1 + b_2 + s_1 + s_2)L}$
