The tent shown below is on display at a toy store.What is the total surface area of the tent in square feet? Assume no material is used on the bottom of the tent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No material is going to be used for the bottom... The area would 2(10)5)+2(5)10)+(6)4) + 2(5)(6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

284:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh... that was fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can we do this step by step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lolz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okaay:D wel..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step number 1 is multiply 2(10 times 5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that accounts for two sides, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then..2(5)10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the other two sides has the side length as the one on bottom?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In essence, 2(5 times 10) is being repeated on two other sides,right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!:) ur smart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, I don't mean to be boastful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm only got smart because of other beings

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last two sides...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(5 times 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get the 6, from the bottom square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then 6(4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 times the height of the triangle, 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but no /2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200+24+60=284

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So thats the answer, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
