What is the total surface area of the two trianglar bases of this tent? 3 ft 7 ft 4 ft

1 answer

The total surface area of the two triangular bases can be calculated by finding the area of one triangular base and then doubling it.

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 x base x height

For the first triangular base:
Base = 4 ft
Height = 3 ft
Area = 1/2 x 4 ft x 3 ft = 6 sq ft

Now, doubling this area for the two triangular bases:
Total surface area of the two triangular bases = 2 x 6 sq ft = 12 sq ft

Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent is 12 square feet.
