Answer 1

224 in.²

Explanation:

The tent has a shape of a triangular prism. So, we are looking for the Lateral surface area of a triangular prism.

Lateral surface area of a triangular prism = Perimeter of base × height of prism

Perimeter of base = 5 + 6 + 5 = 16 in.

Height of prism = 14 in.

Plug in the values

Lateral Surface Area = 16 × 14 = 224 in.²
