A wedge of cheese is shaped like a triangular prism. How much plastic rap is needed to cover the wedge of cheese
To determine the amount of plastic wrap needed to cover the wedge of cheese, you will first need to calculate the surface area of the triangular prism.
The formula to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2 * base area of the triangle + perimeter of the triangle * height of the prism
Once you have calculated the surface area of the triangular prism, you can then determine how much plastic wrap is needed to cover it by using that surface area as the amount of plastic wrap required.
It is important to note that you will need to account for any overlapping or excess plastic wrap needed to fully cover the wedge of cheese.
