Sarah is making a model tent how much material would she need explain the processing solve and show all calculations
To determine how much material Sarah would need for the model tent, we first need to know the dimensions of the tent. Let's assume she wants to make a basic A-frame tent with a base of 2 feet by 3 feet and a height of 4 feet.
The total surface area of the tent can be calculated by finding the area of each of the four triangular sides and the rectangular base, and adding them together.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Area of a rectangle = length * width
Area of one triangle = 1/2 * 2 * 4 = 4 square feet
Area of four triangles = 4 * 4 = 16 square feet
Area of rectangle = 2 * 3 = 6 square feet
Total surface area = 16 (triangles) + 6 (rectangle) = 22 square feet
Sarah would need 22 square feet of material to make the model tent. She should ensure she has enough material for any seams, hems, or other adjustments she may need to make during the construction process.
