Answer: 151

Step-by-step

you need to first find the area of each piece of the tent

the 2 rectangular flaps would be 6*8= 48 each

the bottom would be 4*8=32

to find the area of the triangular pieces we need to know the height of each triangle, right now we only know sides. To find the height (the altitude) you draw a line straight down to make a 90 degree angle.

that will also cut your base in half (2 instead of 4) and make 6 your hypotenuse

now use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the triangle


a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2) \\\\a^(2) +2^(2) =6^(2) \\a^(2) +4=36\\a^(2) =32\\a=√(32) = 5.66

Area of a triangle is


(1)/(2) bh\\(1)/(2) (4)(5.66)= 11.31

the area of one triangle is 11.31

so together it is 48+48+32+11.31+11.31= 150.6

round up to 151
