Answer:
[tex]Area = 279ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for tent
Required
The material needed
This implies that we calculate the surface area of the tent.
This is calculated as:
Area = 2 * Area of Congruent triangles + 2 * Area of Congruent Rectangles + Area of Base Rectangle
So, we have:
[tex]Area = 2 * \frac{1}{2} * 6 * 8 + 2 * 10.5 * 7 + 10.5 * 8[/tex]
[tex]Area = 48 + 147 + 84[/tex]
[tex]Area = 279ft^2[/tex]
