The amount of wrapping paper needed for a triangular prism is calculated by finding the surface area of the prism.
The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2*base area + (perimeter of base * height)
Given that the container is shaped like a triangular prism, we need to know the following measurements:
- Base of the prism: triangular
- Perimeter of the base: unknown
- Height of the prism: unknown
Unfortunately, without knowing the specific measurements of the triangular prism, we cannot accurately calculate the amount of wrapping paper needed. Therefore, none of the provided answers can be determined as correct.
