A trisubstituted cyclohexane compound is given below in its chair conformation. Draw the corresponding planar (overhead) representation, using wedge-and-dash bonds to indicate the substituent positions. Include the hydrogen atoms on the chirality centers (asymmetric carbons). Be sure that both wedge/dash bonds are drawn on the outside of the ring, or else the stereochemistry may be interpreted as square planar.
