To find the amount of wrapping paper needed, we first need to find the surface area of the triangular prism container.

The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + lh + wh

Let's assume the following dimensions for the triangular prism container:
- Length (l) = 10 cm
- Width (w) = 8 cm
- Height (h) = 6 cm

Substitute these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(10)(8) + (10)(6) + (8)(6)
Surface Area = 160 + 60 + 48
Surface Area = 268 cm²

Therefore, approximately 268 cm² of wrapping paper is needed to wrap the toy.
