You haven't told us whether the rectangular prism is the size of a pack of gum or more like the size of a cruise ship.

Whatever size it is, here's the number of centimeter squares you need to cover the whole outside of it:

(2 x length x width) + (2 x length x height) + (2 x width x height)

with all measurements made in centimeters.

a triangular flower bed needs a thin metal border all the way around it. The sides are 7 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet long.

Excuse my awful triangle drawing skills, haha..
So essentially you need to find the perimeter which is done by adding the lengths of the sides.. this gives you 22ft.
Then for part b you need to convert 22ft to yards which gives you 7.3 yards.
Since you can only buy a whole number of yards, you'll actually need 8 yards.
So if the boarder is $8.75 per yard, and you need 8 yards, how much would it cost?
Hope this was helpful.
