Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.
<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>
The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.
That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:
= √(6² + (8 /2)²)
= √(36 + 16)
= 7.2 ft
As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:
= 7.2 x 2
= 14.4 ft
