A model of the tent it is planning to build is shown below. 12 feet 8 feet 30 feet 40 feet Approximately how much surface material will be needed to create each tent, assuming the tent does not have a floor? Type your response here:

Answer 1

we find the area of the figure

tent1: area rectangular figure

`\begin{gathered} A=2wh+2lh \\ A=2(30*8)+2(40*8) \\ A=2(240)+2(320) \\ A=480+640 \\ A=1120 \end{gathered}`

tent2: area rectangular pyramid

`\begin{gathered} A=(2lh)/(2)+(2wh)/(2) \\ A=lh+wh \\ A=40*12+30*12 \\ A=480+360 \\ A=840 \end{gathered}`

answer:

tent 1: 1120 sq feet

ten2: 840 sq feet
