What is the total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent? The base is 7ft, the width is 4ft, and the height is 3 ft.
To find the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent, we need to first calculate the area of one of the triangular bases and then multiply it by 2.
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Given:
Base = 7 ft
Height = 3 ft
Area = 1/2 * 7 ft * 3 ft
Area = 1/2 * 21 sq ft
Area = 10.5 sq ft
Now, we need to calculate the total surface area of the two triangular bases:
Total Surface Area = 2 * Area
Total Surface Area = 2 * 10.5 sq ft
Total Surface Area = 21 sq ft
Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent is 21 square feet.
