Let's go through the questions and calculations in detail.

### Problem 8:
The Toblerone box is modeled as a regular triangular prism.

- **Given dataLet's go through the questions and calculations in detail.

### Problem 8:
The Toblerone box is modeled as a regular triangular prism.

- **Given **
  - One side of the triangular base = \( 3.5 \, \text{cm} \)
  - Length of the box = \( 21 \, \text{cm} \)
  - Surface area of the triangular base = \( 5.3 \, \text{cm}^2 \)

#### 8.1: Calculate the height of the triangular base.
- The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
  \[
  A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
  \]
  Where:
  - \( A = 5.3 \, \text{cm}^2 \) (given)
  - Base \( b = 3.5 \, \text{cm} \)
  - Height \( h \) is what we need to find.

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
\[
h = \frac{2A}{b}
\]

Let's calculate this.

#### 8.2: Calculate the volume of the hexagonal prism box.
- The hexagonal prism is made up of 6 triangular prisms, each identical to the one described in part 8.1.

The volume \( V \) of a triangular prism is given by:
\[
V = A_{\text{triangle}} \times \text{length}
\]
Where:
- \( A_{\text{triangle}} = 5.3 \, \text{cm}^2 \) (given)
- Length = \( 21 \, \text{cm} \)

To find the total volume for the hexagonal prism, we multiply the volume of one triangular prism by 6.

#### 8.3: Calculate the minimum amount of cardboard required for the packaging.
The packaging is shaped as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. We need to calculate the surface area required to form the box that holds 7 triangular Toblerone boxes.

We'll compute this by determining the surface area of the external faces of the box (essentially a hexagonal prism with 7 triangles) and the additional area for the ends. 

I will start with calculating the height in 8.1, and then proceed step by step.The height of the triangular base is approximately \( 3.03 \, \text{cm} \).

Now, let's move on to part 8.2, where we need to calculate the volume of the hexagonal prism made of six triangular prisms.

The volume of one triangular prism is calculated as:
\[
V = A_{\text{triangle}} \times \text{length}
\]
After finding this, we multiply the volume by 6 to get the total volume for the hexagonal prism.

I'll calculate that next.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, based on the formula, you can calculate the total volume of the hexagonal prism using this approach:

1. **Volume of one triangular prism**:
   \[
   V = 5.3 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 21 \, \text{cm} = 111.3 \, \text{cm}^3
   \]
   
2. **Volume of the hexagonal prism** (which is composed of 6 triangular prisms):
   \[
   V_{\text{hex}} = 6 \times 111.3 = 667.8 \, \text{cm}^3
   \]
