on the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its 48 because you multiply 8 X 6. You do that cause its asking the area for the surface or bottom of the tent. Answer: 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not an answer luis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is not What are the possible answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

192,216,228,264

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe it is 192 cause you multiply 6X8X4 because it the problem says assume there is no material. So yeah it is 192

2(4)(8) +2(4)(6) +2(5)(8)+24 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u type a lot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no jlastino

OpenStudy (jlastino):

The sides of the tent are rectangles having l=8 and w=4 (Calculate the area and multiply it by 2 'cause there are two sides) The front and back of the tent are rectangles having l=6 w=4 (Calculate the area and multiply it by 2) Now the sides of roof are rectangles having l=8 w=5 (Calculate the area and multiply it by 2) The front ant back parts of the roof are triangles having b=6 h=4 (Calculate the area and multiply it by 2) Add all these and you get the surface area :D
