Question

What is the least amount of fabric needed to make the tent?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Alright , lets get started.

When we see the tent, we see are are 5 faces of this tent.

Two faces are triangular.

Two faces are rectangular.

And one base is also rectangular.

Area of one triangle =
`(1)/(2)*base*height=(1)/(2)*6*4=12`

So the area of two triangles =
`2*12=24`

Now, area of one rectangular face =
`7*5=35`

So, area of both rectangular faces =
`2*35=70`

Area of rectangular base =
`7*6=42`

Total area =
`24+70+42 = 136`

So the amount of fabric needed to make tent is 136 square feet. : Answer
