<u>Answer:</u>

Lengths of the sides (there are 3 sides in an equilateral triangle) of the base of prism is <u>5.72cm </u>each.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As the base of triangular prism is equilateral:

∴ Area of base = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)²

According to question:

height of prism = height (side) of base

Volume of prism = 81 cm³,

∴ Volume of prism = Area of base x height

⇒  81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)² × height       ∵ side = height

⇒   81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)³

⇒  81 × (4/√3) cm³ = side³    

⇒  ∛(81 × (4/√3) cm = side

⇒  side = <u>5.72cm</u>

butalik [34]
To find the surface area you will need to find the area of all 5 surfaces (faces) on the prism.  On a triangular prism there are 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces.  All 3 rectangular faces are the same and the 2 triangular faces are also the same.

To find the area of the triangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle:

A = 1/2bh
     1/2 x 10 x 8.7
A = 43.5 in^2 

To find the area of the rectangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle:

A = bh
    10 x 3
A = 30 in ^2

30 + 30 + 30 + 43.5 + 43.5 = 177

The minimum amount of wrapping paper needed for the gift is 177 square inches.
