Use the image to answer the question.
A 2-dimensional illustration of a building is shown with a pointed roofline and a large doorway in the center. The large doorway in the center of the baseline is 6 meters in length. The doorway is the same height as the vertical sides of the building, which is 3 meters. The left and right baselines on either side of the doorway measure 4 meters each. The height, drawn in a dashed line from the top center of the doorway to the triangular apex at the top of the building, is 3 meters.

The area of the tent's entrance can be found by multiplying the height and width of the entrance.
Height = 3 meters
Width = 4 meters + 6 meters + 4 meters = 14 meters
Area = 3 meters x 14 meters = 42 meters2
Therefore, the correct answer is 45 m2.
