Jenny has a gift box shaped like a triangular prism. Each side of the base is 12 cm. The triangular base has a height of 10.4 cm. The prism is 68 cm tall. Find the amount of the gift wrap needed to cover the box

4,243 cm^3

Step-by-step 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

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
