To find the amount of fabric needed for the tent shaped like a triangular prism, we need to calculate the total surface area of the prism.
First, we find the area of the two triangles that form the top and bottom sides of the prism:
Area of triangle = (1/2) x base x height
Top and bottom side area = 2 x (1/2) x 12 cm x 6 cm = 72 cm²
Next, we find the area of the three rectangular sides of the prism:
Area of rectangle = length x height
Front and back side area = 2 x 4 cm x 6 cm = 48 cm²
Side side area = 12 cm x 7 cm = 84 cm²
Total surface area = Top and bottom side area + Front and back side area + Side side area
Total surface area = 72 cm² + 48 cm² + 84 cm² = 204 cm²
Since Jordan purchased a piece of fabric that is 18 cm by 18 cm, the area of the fabric is 18 cm x 18 cm = 324 cm²
Therefore, the amount of fabric left over will be 324 cm² (fabric area) - 204 cm² (tent surface area) = 120 cm²
6 cm this is the height
7 cm and this is the height
12 cm the length of the bottom side
4 cm the base of the front
Jordan purchased a piece of fabric that is 18 cm by 18 cm in order to make a tent for her little sister’s dolls. Using the dimensions for the tent shaped like a triangular prism, how much fabric will be left over?

but 150 is not an option
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's double-check the calculations.
Top and bottom side area = 2 x (1/2) x 12 cm x 6 cm = 72 cm²
Front and back side area = 2 x 4 cm x 6 cm = 48 cm²
Side side area = 12 cm x 7 cm = 84 cm²
Total surface area = 72 cm² + 48 cm² + 84 cm² = 204 cm²
Jordan purchased a piece of fabric that is 18 cm by 18 cm, so the fabric area is 18 cm x 18 cm = 324 cm²
The amount of fabric left over will be:
324 cm² (fabric area) - 204 cm² (tent surface area) = 120 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer should be 120 centimeters squared.
Top and bottom side area = 2 x (1/2) x 12 cm x 6 cm = 72 cm²
Front and back side area = 2 x 4 cm x 6 cm = 48 cm²
Side side area = 12 cm x 7 cm = 84 cm²
Total surface area = 72 cm² + 48 cm² + 84 cm² = 204 cm²

The amount of fabric left over will be:
324 cm² (fabric area) - 204 cm² (tent surface area) = 120 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer should be 120 centimeters squared.
