Answer:

The height of the tent is 3 feet. It should be tall enough to sit up in the center.

Explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism is found using V = 1/2 * b* h * H where b is the base of the triangle base, h is the height of the triangle base and H is the height of the prism. Substitute V = 36, b = 4 and H = 6. Then solve for the height of the tent h.

V = 1/2 * b* h * H

36 = 1/2 * 4 * h * 6

36 = 2 * h * 6

36 = 12 * h

36 / 12 = h

3 = h

The height of the tent is 3 feet. It should be tall enough to sit up in the center.
