First of all there are multiple formula's to get the volume of a trapezoidal prism:

V=(1/2 (base1 + base2) h) height prism

Using the numbers you gave: 
base1 = 7     base2 = 5     h = 4     height prism = 8

Putting this into the equation:  V=(1/2 (7 + 5) 4) 8
V= (1/2 12 4) 8
V = 24 8
V = 192

The volume of the gift box is 191 inches squared.
