Question

How much tarp is needed to exactly cover the lateral faces of the tent?Explain or show
how you found your answer.

Answer 1

Side ft~10 ft Slant height~8 ft

Answer 2

@AZ

Answer 3

Is there an image? How does this tent look like

Answer 4

The tent looks like how I drew it, the what it described

Answer 5

The lateral area is going to be the area of all four triangles

Answer 6

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

so basically 1/2 * 10 * 8

and then multiply by 4 because you have four triangles

Answer 7

Also if you don't know the difference between slant height and height, here you go

Answer 8

No I have the area but it is asking for the surface area

Answer 9

surface area is the area of each side

Answer 10

add up the areas of each side and that'll be the surface area

for lateral surface area, you just don't add the area of the base which in this case is the square

Answer 11

idk how ._.

Answer 12

you don't know how to find the area of a triangle?

and of a square?

and then add up the areas of each shape in the net?

Answer 13

and remember there's four triangles so you either add the numbers four times

or just 4 * number

Answer 14

._. ik how to find the area of a square but not a triangle ._.

Answer 15

Triangle is base time height divided by 2
Make sure that the height you have is perpendicular to the base... not a slanted line....

Answer 16

I dont have that ._. I only have slant height-

Answer 17

Solve for the perpendicular height then

Answer 18

HUHHH? tHe WhAtTtTtTt???

Answer 19

._.

Do you know the pythagorean theorem

Answer 20

a square + b square = c square?

Answer 21

\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
where a and b are the 2 sides, and c is the hypotenuse

Answer 22

5 is one leg... hypotenuse is 8
so we have
\[5^2 + b^2 = 8^2\]
can you solve for b

Answer 23

no xdd

Answer 24

do you know your exponents....?

Answer 25

Yes

Answer 26

What is 5^2 and 8^2

Answer 27

25 64

Answer 28

What is 64-25

Answer 29

Ummmmmmmmmm 39 i think? Mental math ._.

Answer 30

Yes, so b is sqrt39 ._.

Answer 32

xd but so then what is the surface area? ._.

but that's only if you're trying to find the volume, then you'd need to know the height

we need surface area so the slant height is what we need

Answer 34

???????

Answer 35

surface area = the sum of the areas of the sides

if you're finding the height, that's not going to help you find the area of the triangle faces

Answer 36

when i meant height and base, i meant the height and length of the base, like 2D base

Answer 37

?? but this is a 3D figure

Answer 38

Yes, bc this is a 3D figure, i only need to find area, so i just find 2D area of it all

Answer 39

b r u h

Answer 40

goh'3hqtt4hq4yqj4jq
name me confused

Answer 41

Take a look at the image once more:

slant height is what we use

we would calculate height if we're going to find the volume of the pyramid

Answer 42

I don't mean that height, i meant for hte 4 triangles, i need the height of one triangle._.

Answer 43

the height of the triangles is the slant height...

Answer 44

wdym..... i need
i need x and y, not te slant height

Answer 45

x is the slant height...

Answer 46

no, x is the perpendicular height perpendicular to it._.
the slant height is like notjbgi3q;thoq43iqhjo5
idk

Answer 47

IM CONFUSEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Answer 48

I dont get it ._.

Answer 49

i don't get it either._.

Answer 50

What is the exact question once more?

Can you take a screenshot?

Answer 51

▪️◑﹏◐:-)

Answer 52

I'm not sure what you're calculating anymore - if it's the lateral surface area or just the surface area

Answer 53

✅👍🏼

Answer 55

the height of the triangle is 8

the base is 10

the area of triangle = 1/2 * 8 * 10

area = ??

Answer 56

Area =40

Answer 57

so that's the area of 1 triangle

the area of 4 triangles is going to be 4 * 40 = ??

Answer 58

160

Answer 59

so the four triangles is going to be your lateral surface area

if you want the total area then add the area of the square to the area of the four triangles

total surface area = 160 + (10*10)

Answer 60

260?

Answer 61

yes, that's the total surface area

and 160 would be your lateral surface area
