Slanted sides of a tent are 11 feet long each and the bottom of the tent is 12 feet across. what is the tallest point of the tent?

The tallest point of the tent is 9.22 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant sides of the tent are: 11 ft

The base of the tent is 12 ft apart.

Let the height of the tent = h ft

Now, if we assume the tent to be of  conical shape, the half of the tent forms a right angles triangle.

In this right angled triangle:

Slant Height of tent  = Hypotenuse of the triangle  = 11 ft

Height of tent  = Perpendicular of the triangle  = h

(Base /2)  of tent  = Base of the triangle  = 6 ft

Now, USING PYTHAGORAS THEOREM in a right triangle:

⇒

⇒ h = 9.22 ft

Hence the tallest point of the tent is 9.22 ft.

the answer is 24
