To find the total surface area of the triangular prism-shaped cheese wedge, you would need to find the surface area of each of the three faces (two triangular faces and one rectangular face) and add them together.

The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is 2(Area of triangle face) + (Perimeter of triangle face * Height of prism).

Since the question does not provide specific dimensions or measurements, it is not possible to calculate the exact amount of plastic wrap needed.
