A triangular tent flap measures 3 1/2 feet along the base and has a height of 2 2/3 feet. How much canvas is needed to make the flap? Please write how you got the answer.

Respuesta :

Hi so imagine a tent... It looks like a pyramid right?
Well when its asking for a tent flap, its talking about one triangle of the pyramid.
So its asking you to find the area of one triangle of the pyramid.
Does this make sense??
So the formula for an area of a triangle is (b*h)/2
So the answer is multiply the two numbers together then divide by 2.
Does this make sense?
