To calculate the surface area of the wedge of cheese, we need to find the area of each face and add them together.

The cheese has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces.

The area of a triangle can be calculated as A = 1/2 * base * height.
The area of a rectangle can be calculated as A = length * width.

For the triangular faces:
1. Area = 1/2 * 12 * 5 = 30 cm²
2. Area = 1/2 * 12 * 9 = 54 cm²

For the rectangular faces:
3. Area = 12 * 13 = 156 cm²
4. Area = 13 * 5 = 65 cm²
5. Area = 5 * 9 = 45 cm²

Total surface area = 30 + 54 + 156 + 65 + 45 = 350 cm²

Therefore, you would need 350 cm² of plastic wrap to cover the wedge of cheese.
