To find the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent, we need to first calculate the area of one triangular base and then multiply it by 2.
Using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
First, let's find the area of one triangular base:
Area = 1/2 * 3 ft * 4 ft = 6 square feet
Next, since there are two triangular bases, the total surface area of the two triangular bases is:
Total Surface Area = 6 square feet * 2 = 12 square feet
Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent is 12 square feet.
What is the total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent?
The numbers: 3 ft, 4 ft, and 7 ft.
