This question is for trigonometry. I will type the question first and then draw the picture that goes with the problem.

A two person tent is to be made so that the height at the center is a=5 feet. If the sides of the tent are to meet the ground at an angle @=30 degrees, and the tent is to be b=9 feet in length, how many square feet of material will be needed to make the tent?
