To find the total surface area of the two triangular bases of a tent, we need to calculate the area of each triangular base and then add them together.
Let's assume the triangular base has a base of 8 meters and a height of 4 meters. The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 x b x h, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.
Area of one triangular base:
A = 1/2 x 8 x 4
A = 16 square meters
Since there are two triangular bases, the total surface area of the two triangular bases is:
16 + 16 = 32 square meters
Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent is 32 square meters.
