4,243 cm^3

Explanation:

Answer 2

4,243 cm^3

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of gift wrap needed to cover the box.

This is indirectly telling us to calculate the volume of the triangular prism.

Mathematically, the area of a triangular prism is the area of the base multiplied. y the height.

Area of the base is 1/2 * 12 * 10.4 = 62.4 cm^2

The volume is thus 62.4 * 68 = 4,243.2 cm^3
