Answer:

The area of the canvas, including the floor is 1548 sq. feet.

Explanation:

Given : A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet across and a slant height of 12 feet.

To find : What is the area of the canvas, including the floor?

Solution :

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet.

The diameter of the base is D=34 feet.

The radius of the base is
r=(34)/(2)=17

The slant height l=12

The area of the canvas, including the floor is


A=\pi r l+\pi r^2


A=\pi r(l+r)


A=3.14* 17(17+12)


A=3.14* 17*29


A=1548.02

In nearest whole unit, A=1548 sq. feet.

Therefore, The area of the canvas, including the floor is 1548 sq. feet.
