Answer:
85.84 ft²
Explanation:
The surface area of the fabric would be the total net area of the shape of the tent covered.
Thus, surface area = area of the 3 rectangular faces + area of the 2 triangular faces
From the diagram given, the 3 rectangular faces have the same dimensions as follows:
L = 6ft
W = 4ft
Area of the 3 rectangular faces = 3(6*4) = 3(24) = 72ft²
The 2 triangular faces have the same dimensions as follows:
B = 4f
H = 3.46ft
Area of the 2 triangular faces = 2(½*B*H)
= 2(½*4*3.46)
= 2(2*3.46)
= 2(6.92)
= 13.84 ft²
Surface area of fabric used to cover the triangular tent = 72ft² + 13.84ft² = 85.84 ft²
