Jenny has a gift box shaped like a triangular prism. Each side of the base is 12 cm. The triangular base has a height of 10.4 cm. The prism is 68 cm tall. Find the amount of the gift wrap needed to cover the box

4,243 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of gift wrap needed to cover the box.

This is indirectly telling us to calculate the volume of the triangular prism.

Mathematically, the area of a triangular prism is the area of the base multiplied. y the height.

Area of the base is 1/2 * 12 * 10.4 = 62.4 cm^2

The volume is thus 62.4 * 68 = 4,243.2 cm^3
