Question

HELP PLEASE... An Indian tepee is a conical tent. Find the number of skins needed to cover a teepee 10 ft. in diameter and 12 ft. high. Each skin covers 15 sq. ft. (use pi = 3.14)

Answer 1

You need to find the surface area of the tent which would be
pi * r * hypotenuse + pi * r^2

Answer 2

To find the Hypotenuse you need to use the Pythagorean thm
a^2 + b^2 = c ^2
Then you need to divide the total answer by the amount each skin covers.
