To determine how much fabric Jordan will have left over after making the tent, we need to first calculate the area of the fabric she purchased and then the area required to make the tent.
-
Area of the Fabric:
- The fabric is a square with dimensions 18 cm by 18 cm.
- Area = length × width = 18 cm × 18 cm = 324 cm².
-
Area Required for the Tent:
- To calculate the area required for a triangular prism tent, we would typically need the base and height of the triangle, as well as the dimensions corresponding to the other parts of the tent. However, since the dimensions for the tent are not provided in this specific question, we'll assume that from the choices given, we need to find a possible area that makes sense based on the total area of 324 cm² of the fabric.
-
Calculating the Remaining Fabric:
- If we take any option given and check against the total area of 324 cm²:
-
If we subtract any of the given responses from the total area:
-
324 cm² - 240 cm² = 84 cm² (only a possible result if tent uses 240 cm²).
-
324 cm² - 184 cm² = 140 cm² (not listed).
-
324 cm² - 84 cm² = 240 cm² (only a possible result if tent uses 84 cm²).
-
- If we take any option given and check against the total area of 324 cm²:
From these calculations, if Jordan used 240 cm² for the tent, she has 84 cm² of fabric left over. If she used 240 cm², the correct choice would be:
84 cm² (or 84 cm squared).
