To calculate the amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap the toy, you need to find the surface area of the triangular prism.
A triangular prism has two identical triangular faces and three rectangular faces. The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2(Base Area of Triangle) + (Perimeter of Triangle * Height)
To find the surface area of the triangular prism, you will need to know the base of the triangle, the height of the triangle, and the length of the sides of the prism.
Once you have those measurements, you can plug them into the formula to find the total surface area. Then, you can calculate how much wrapping paper is needed based on the surface area.
