Question

Shaun's tent (shown below) is a triangular prism. Find the surface area, including the floor, of his tent. \text{ m}^2 m 2 start text, space, m, end text, squared

Answer 1

Answer:2400

Explanation:

Answer 2

52.8 square m

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of rectangular face of Shaun's tent=5 m

Breadth of rectangular face of Shaun's tent=3 m

Base of triangular face=1.5+1.5= 3m

Height of triangular face=2.6 m

Area of rectangle=
`length* breadth`

Using the formula

Area of 3 rectangular face=
`3* 5* 3=45m^2`

Area of two triangular face =
`2* (1)/(2)* base* height`

Area of two triangular face=
`3* 2.6=7.8 m^2`

Area of tent=Area of 3 triangular faces+area of two triangular faces

Area of tent=
`45+7.8=52.8m^2`
