Question

I NEED THIS ANSWERED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! How much material is needed to construct a triangular tent that is 6 feet wide, 4 feet tall, and 8 feet long with side measurements of 5 feet?

78 square feet

102 square feet

152 square feet

392 square feet

Answer 1

To figure out this problem, you need to find the surface area of a triangular prism.

a=5ft

b=5ft

c=6ft

h=8ft

A= (a*h) + (b*h) + (c*h) + 1/2√-a⁴ + 2(a*b)² + 2(a*c) - b⁴ + 2(b*c) - c⁴

=152 square feet
