Answer:

No

Explanation:

The height, h of the tent attached below can be obtained using Pythagoras rule, as the shape forms a right angle triangle.

Length of base , = 24 / 2 = 12 feets

Hypotenus = 15 feets

The height, h = √(hypotenus² - Base²)

h = √15² - 12²

h = √225 -144

h = √81

h = 9 feet

Tent shouldn't be rented as it is below 10 feets
