Respuesta :

Given:

The base of the triangle = 6 ft

The height of the triangle = 5 ft

The other two side of the triangle = 5.5 ft and 5.5 ft

The height of the prism = 9 ft

To find the measurement of the fabric to make the tent.

We need to find the surface area of the triangular prism.

Formula

The surface area of the triangular prism is

[tex]SA = bh+(a+b+c)H[/tex]

where, b be the base of the triangle

h be the height of the triangle

a and c be other two sides of the triangle

H be the height of the prism

Now,

Putting,

b = 6, h = 5, a = 5.5, c = 5.5 and H = 9 we get,

[tex]SA = (6)(5)+(6+5.5+5.5)(9)[/tex] sq ft

or, [tex]SA = 30+153[/tex] sq ft

or, [tex]SA = 183[/tex] sq ft

Hence,

Based on the given dimension 183 sq ft fabric is needed to make the tent.

Answer:

183 sq. ft. fabric is needed to make the tent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the triangle = 6 ft

The height of the triangle = 5 ft

The other two side of the triangle = 5.5 ft and 5.5 ft

The height of the prism = 9 ft

To find the measurement of the fabric to make the tent.

We need to find the surface area of the triangular prism.

a=1/2bh   1/2(6)(5)*2=30

a=(6*5)+2(9*5.5)+(9*6)=183 sq. ft.

30+99+54=183 square ft.
