construct triangular prism's net with all of its dimensions from a triangular prim's volume

Question

i am doing this for a culminating task and the task is this: create one triangular prism container with a volume nolarger than 3500 and no smaller than 2000 cm3 the containers should have the smallest surface area possible.

Answer 1

The net of the prism (to scale):

The lengths of the rectangles and the sides of the triangles are 22cm and the width of the rectangles is about 12.7cm, making the surface area 1257.47cm², and the volume=2662cm³.

To create the prism from the net, fold up the triangular ends, then fold the outside rectangles to meet the sides of the triangles.
