Answer:
In order to begin figuring that out, we need to know about the equation.
Answer: See below:
Advantages as an equation: When you have an equation instead of a graph, you can use the equation to find exact values for a function. With a graph, don't always have the exact values. However, with an equation, you can find the exact input or output values.
Disadvantages as an equation: You don't get to see the overall picture or patterns in the function. With a graph, you can easily see the increasing and decreasing intervals of the function.
(a) Length of the height is 2.732 m
(b) Length of the base is 5.466 m
<u>Explanation:</u>
An image is attached for reference.
(a)
In ΔAOB,

In ΔBGD,

According to the figure, BG = OE = 1.732 m
Height of the tent, AE = AO + OE
= 1 m + 1.732 m
= 2.732 m
(b)
DF = ?
In ΔAOB,

According to the figure, OB = GE = 1.733 m
In ΔBGD,

According to the figure, DE = DG + GE
DE = 1 m + 1.733 m
DE = 2.733 m
Length of the base, DF = 2 X DE
DF = 2 X 2.733 m
DF = 5.466 m
