A tent company makes one type of tent that is shaped like a triangular prism.
The approximate dimensions of the tent are shown below.
Based on these dimensions, how much fabric is needed to make one tent,
including a floor?

Given:

The base of the triangle = 6 ft

The height of the triangle = 5 ft

The other two side of the triangle = 5.5 ft and 5.5 ft

The height of the prism = 9 ft

To find the measurement of the fabric to make the tent.

We need to find the surface area of the triangular prism.

Formula

The surface area of the triangular prism is

where, b be the base of the triangle

h be the height of the triangle

a and c be other two sides of the triangle

H be the height of the prism

Now,

Putting,

b = 6, h = 5, a = 5.5, c = 5.5 and H = 9 we get,

sq ft

or, sq ft

or, sq ft

Hence,

Based on the given dimension 183 sq ft fabric is needed to make the tent.

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )
