What it is total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent?

Question

3 ft
4 ft
7 ft

Answer 1

The total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent can be calculated using the formula for the surface area of a triangle:

Surface area = 1/2 * base * height

For the first triangular base:
Surface area = 1/2 * 3 ft * 4 ft = 6 sq ft

For the second triangular base:
Surface area = 1/2 * 4 ft * 7 ft = 14 sq ft

Total surface area = 6 sq ft + 14 sq ft = 20 sq ft

Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent is 20 square feet.
