Answer:
The fabric needs 196.4 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The tent formed formed from 4 faces
two equilateral triangles with side length 7 ft
two rectangles with dimensions 11 ft and 7 ft
∵ Area equilateral Δ = 1/4 S²√3
∵ Area rectangle = L × W
∴ The area of the prism = 2 × 1/4 × (7)²√3 + 2 × 7 × 11
= 196.4 ft²
Note:
If you find the area of the triangle by the rule 1/2 × base × height
∴ Area Δ = 1/2 × (7) × 6 = 21 ft²
∴ Area tent = 2 × 21 + 2 × 77 = 196 ft²
Two answer very closed
